25-27.09.: GeNeMe 2024 - Trust in crisis: Communication models in digital communities

The GeNeMe conference series "Communities in New Media" has been focusing on online communities from the perspective of several disciplines such as computer and data science, media technology, education and business administration and economics, information and administrative science and social and communication science as well as their interfaces for over 25 years.

Trust in the crisis: communication models in digital communities

This year's GeNeMe addresses key social issues in the context of current times of crisis. The focus will be on the discussion around building trust in digital communities as well as in the context of digital innovation. The following questions in particular will be considered: How does trust develop in online communities, and how can this be created and maintained? Which digital communication strategies are suitable for crisis situations? What influence do digital technologies such as AI and AR/VR have on building trust? What expectations and skills play a role in communication and trust-building (in times of crisis)?
