Communities in New Media [GeNeMe]
The annual GeNeMe conference "Communities in New Media" discusses online communities from an integral perspective on several disciplines such as computer science, media technology, business and economics, education and information science, and social and communication science. As a forum for transdisciplinary dialogue, GeNeMe facilitates the exchange of experience and knowledge between participants from a wide range of disciplines, organizations and institutions with a focus on both research and practice. The 26th GeNeMe will take place in hybrid form with the focus on on-site participation and optional online participation. Supplemented by attractive online formats and at the pre-conference, we aim to create a virtual conference experience with the immersive TriCAT software, gather experiences and exchange ideas about and with visionary virtual environments that (should) enable participation in a wide variety of settings.
