Call for Abstracts: GeNeMe – Communities in New Media
Digital participation in hybrid realities and communities
The pandemic has given digitalisation in business, science, education, private networks and public institutions an enormous boost and has revealed both innovative ideas and weak points. Infrastructures, working methods and competences are at the forefront of many debates and are increasingly determining the future viability of entire sectors. But where is the journey really going? How will we learn tomorrow? Will communities be primarily constituted in hybrid realities in the future? Are big data a threat or an opportunity? Can we process it at all or does it require fundamentally changed professional skills, tools and methods - such as advanced, social or visual analytics, virtual reconstruction, virtual engineering, conversational agents and cooperative VR? While IT innovations were something for digital experts until recently, hybrid communities in digital realities are now commonplace. But what do business, science and society have to adapt to? Are organisational processes becoming more participatory? How can an organisation assume digital leadership? What ethical and legal frameworks need to be considered? Digitalisation means new opportunities for openness, transparency and participation. But how can social discourses be (co-)shaped through digitalisation? Do we integrate AI into management via human-centred interfaces?
GeNeMe has stood for „Communities in New Media“ for more than 20 years and deals with online communities at the interface or from the perspective of several disciplines such as computer science, media technology, economics, education and information science as well as social and communication science. As the forum for transdisciplinary dialogue between science, business, organisations and administration, it facilitates the exchange of experience and knowledge between participants from a wide range of disciplines, organisations and institutions. In 2021, we are striving for a close integration of Face2Face and online formats in order to further develop last year‘s hybrid conference experience together with all participants. The following thematic focuses provide an orientation and serve as an open invitation to submit contributions.
As a junior-oriented conference, we especially invite students to submit contributions, both in the special category „student contributions“ and in one of the other formats. All necessary information on format templates, contribution layout and submission modalities can be found on our website. Papers submitted in English language may be presented in English language
You will find more information in our flyer.
