Communities in New Media [GeNeMe]
For more than 20 years, GeNeMe has stood for "Communities in New Media" 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 interdisciplinary dialogue between science, business and administration, it facilitates the exchange of experience and knowledge between participants from a wide range of disciplines, organisations and institutions.
From hybrid realities to hybrid communities
Digitisation has established itself as the change maker in business, science and society. Infrastructures, working methods and skills are at the focus of many debates and increasingly influence the future viability of entire industries. We have obviously embraced the permanent change with increasing acceleration. But: Where is the journey really going? Are communities constituted exclusively in the interplay of hybrid realities? Are large amounts of data a threat or an opportunity? Can we process them at all or do we need fundamentally different tools and methods - such as visual analytics, virtual reconstruction, virtual engineering, virtual assistants and cooperative VR? Until recently, IT innovations were something for digital experts, but hybrid communities in virtual reality are now part of everyday life. But what do managers have to prepare for? Digitalization means new opportunities for openness, transparency and participation. Will this also lead to a revival of human-centered management activities?
Program
The program of this year's GeNeMe is diverse. We already start on October 7, 2020 with a virtual OpenScience BarCamp as a pre-conference. In the afternoon, we invite interested people from education, politics and research to share experiences in WorldCafe at the opening event at the HTW Dresden. The main conference takes place from October 8th to 9th in the rooms of the DGUV. All information about the program structure can be found on the Program page.
Registration
All information about the pre-models and the registration modalities can be found on the Registration page. Registration for the GeNeMe is absolutely necessary until October 04.
