Call for papers
deadline: 31 january 2015
CALL FOR PAPERS – RE:PUBLICA 2015
re:publica is Europe’s largest and most prominent conference on the
future of our society and all things digital. re:publica attracts over
6,000 participants but has preserved an open and familiar atmosphere.
re:publica is the quality conference with a festival feel. In 2015
re:publica will take place in Berlin, Germany, from May 5th to May 7th.
Unlike other conferences which focus on social media marketing and the usual
“show and tell†of tools and projects, re:publica aims to bring together communities,
leading thinkers of our time with activists and engaged organizations to share
experiences.
With this year’s motto /Finding Europe/ https://re-publica.de/en/motto,
the coming re:publica has a special focus on the digital society of
our home continent with its great cultural, economic and political
richness and diversity. We are particularly happy to receive
submissions matching the wide range of European topics and ideas, as
well as many international applications. And of course, we are also
interested in non-European perspectives on these topics as well as
other core re:publica topics like the digitization of politics and
media, future of news and broadcasting, etc.
CALL FOR PAPERS

TOPICS
