GeNeMe 2022 – Digitality and Diversity

The GeNeMe „Communities in New Media” looks in particular at online communities at the interface from the point of view of several disciplines such as computer science, media technology, business administration, education, and information science, as well as social and communication science. As a forum for transdisciplinary dialog between science, business, organizations, and administration, it facilitates the exchange of experience and knowledge between participants from various disciplines, organizations, and institutions.

This year’s GeNeMe focuses on the discussion of questions of inclusion and diversity in the context of digital innovations. In particular, the following questions will be reflected upon: at what point was digitality able to break down barriers during the pandemic, and where did new, previously ignored barriers emerge? What challenges arise in the further development of communities in new media? Which ways and means of promoting more diversity and inclusion are already emerging?

In 2022, we are striving for close integration of face2face and online formats to further develop last year’s hybrid conference experience with all participants and to increasingly integrate new, intercultural communities.

The conference is led by a group of scientists from the faculties of education and business administration as well as the Center for Open Digital Innovation and Participation (CODIP) of TU Dresden, the DGUV (HGU), and the HTW Dresden, with the kind support of Silicon Saxony e.V. As partner universities, the FH Dresden and the DIU Dresden are participating as co-hosts in the content and organization of the 24th GeNeMe.

Abstracts for our event can be submitted until 02.05.2022. You can find more information in our Call for Papers.
