University of Bonn (Germany) and online (via Zoom)

Deadline: June 30, 2022

An International Hybrid Conference of the Research Association NRW Digital Society

We bring together twelve research projects within the framework of six junior research groups and one graduate school, which conduct research on issues related to the digital transformation of society. Further information on the projects, the members and the disciplines involved can be found here: http://forschungsverbund-digitale-gesellschaft.nrw/

After five years of funding, we are now approaching the end of the project, which is why we will be hosting the international hybrid conference “Quo vadis Digital Democracy? Strengthening and Preserving Democracy in the Digital Age“. The conference will take place from 29 September to 01 October 2022 at the University of Bonn (Germany) and online (via Zoom).

I would like to draw your attention to the Call for Participation (see attachment).

The conference brings together international and interdisciplinary researchers working empirically and theoretically on issues related to the digitization of democracy and the public sphere.

We were able to confirm as keynotes for the conference:

1) Prof. Dr. José van Dijck (University of Utrecht)

2) Dr. Dmytro Khutkyy (University of Tartu)

As we would like to address a broad interdisciplinary and international audience, we are reaching out to you.
