In 2018, humour researchers and practitioners will gather in Tallinn, Estonia,

“Humour: positively (?) transforming” – its creative aspect and contextual
nature.

research in the arts, humanities, and sciences. The suggested topic areas
could cover, although are not limited to:

- Cognition and Creativity
- Public and Private Discourse
- Individuality and Individual Styles
- Culture and Diversity
- Health and Well-Being
