The Social Sciences and Humanities Conference is one of the main highlights of the academic calendar of ACRPS events. Held biennially since 2017 (formerly an annual event), the meeting is one of the highlights of the Arab academic scene, bringing together scholars from across the expanse of the social sciences and humanities.

The Social Sciences and Humanities Conference is also the venue when the winners of the Arab Prize, given to recognize the accomplishments of researchers in the Arab academy, are announced.
