This event is organised by a team of PhD/Early Career Researchers hoping to create a strong collegiate network of people researching the 'digital' in years to come. We hope to bring together researchers across social, legal, health (including psychology) and computer sciences. It is FREE for presenters and there is a limited budget to cover UK travel expenses for PhD students traveling to the event.
The organising team invites contributions across four themes:
1. Security & Privacy: the impact of new technologies on security and privacy for governments, businesses and individuals;
2. Health & Social Care: how technology impacts on health and social care now and in the future;
3. Services & Goods: the role of technology to facilitate access to, and provision of, services and goods; and,
4. Participation & Space: digital technologies and their impact on social inclusion, democracy and attachment to physical places.
Participants will have the opportunity to share their research with others through a variety of mediums. These include:
- Presenting your research (or brainstorm a research idea) during one of the breakout sessions (15-20 minutes);
- Exhibiting a research poster as part of the poster competition; and,
- Presenting a 3 minute ‘pecha-kucha’ style presentation and entering the respective competition at the Comedy Research Open Mic.
