GeNeMe 2024

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

Trust at Crisis: Communication models in digital communities

GeNeMe 2024 addresses key social issues in the context of current times of crisis. The focus is 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 crises? What influence do digital technologies such as AI and AR/VR have on building trust? How can trust be built sustainably, which models for trust modeling are suitable? What expectations and competencies play a role in communication and trust building (in times of crisis)? Are there specific perspectives, methods and effectiveness for different sectors such as business, education, politics and administration, urban versus rural or inter-generational communication?
