The Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt), the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS) and the Weizenbaum Institute (WI), three leading German institutions in the field of digitalisation research, invite doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to present their work at the joint Digitalisation Research and Network Meeting – DigiMeet.
DigiMeet will take place virtually on 28 November 2023, 9:30 am – 5:00 pm CET. Its special topic for 2023 is “Diversity in digital transformation”.
The main purpose of this interdisciplinary event is to provide a forum for early career researchers with a focus on digitalisation-related topics. DigiMeet offers opportunities for networking, discussing results and ideas, and gathering inspiration for new and ideally collaborative research projects.
The meeting will start with a morning keynote by Josephine Ballon. Josephine is Head of Legal at HateAid, a nonprofit organisation that promotes human rights in digital space and stands up against digital violence and its consequences at both social and political levels. Afterwards, participants can present their research in parallel thematic sessions, which will be set up according to the submitted projects.
The second part of the meeting is dedicated to workshops and (virtual) Open Spaces. Open Spaces can be used in every imaginable way, e. g. for oral presentations, poster sessions, group discussions or any other multimedia or interactive purpose. Presentations should not exceed 15 minutes.
Additionally, there will be two parallel workshops in the afternoon:
- Dr. Josephine B. Schmitt (CAIS): “Resilience for Researchers – Dealing with hate speech and right-wing agitation in the academic context”
- Prof. Dr. Frauke Mörike (TU Dortmund): “Actually relevant?! ... Designing inclusive work systems”
DigiMeet closes with a virtual roundtable discussion on the focus topic “Diversity in digital transformation”. In this discussion participants can engage with experts from the involved institutions.
