sending out invitations for the annual colloquium to be held in <b>Berlin
on 21 November 2013</b>. In cooperation with Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung we
wish to gather together early stage researchers (Ph.D. candidates and
post-docs) from all disciplines in order to push ahead with the
discussion revolving around Internet research. The colloquium provides a
stage for new perspectives on current issues of Internet and society.</p><p>This year’s colloquium will consist of six thematically focused sessions.<strong> We cordially invite you to submit your research projects on one of the following six topics:</strong></p><br>
<ol><li> <strong>Slacktivism, activism and protest online. Does the internet have what it takes to be political?</strong>
Online activism is a widely debated topic. It raises the question as to
which degree and under what circumstances online action is an effective
part of political participation. This session welcomes submissions from
both theoretical and empirical perspectives on various forms of online
activism and political par¬ticipation online, for example online
petitions or hacktivism.</li><br>
<br>
<li><strong>From net neutrality to governance: Where are the points of
entry to understanding present-day problems with Internet
infrastructure? </strong>This session looks at the social implications
of Internet architecture and maintenance regarding the process of
rule-making, infrastructure and value as well as the role of regulation.
Technical or structural approaches dealing with Internet exchange
points, content delivery and intermediaries are welcome as well as
theoretical viewpoints focussing on net neutrality or networking
paradigms. </li><br>
<br>
<li><strong>Censorship and chilling effects: How does the law determine online behaviour?</strong>
Notice and take down, online wire-tapping and mass automated online
surveillance are widely discussed among scholars from various
disciplines. This session aims to explore how these measures and the
underlying law influence our online behaviour in both direct and
indirect ways. It also provides a forum for discussing how these
influences are to be evaluated from the point of view of fundamental
rights.<em><br> (Please note that submissions and presentations pertaining to this topic may also be in German.)</em> </li><br>
<br>
<li><strong>Open Science – How does the Internet change knowledge creation and dissemination? </strong>The
Internet changes established practices relating to academic knowledge
creation and dissemination. This session focuses on questions concerning
online collaboration and knowledge sharing, emerging publication forms
and alternative impact measurements. Entries can also cover open data,
crowdfunding for scientific projects, social networks for scientists and
open research. </li><br>
<br>
<li><strong>Internet-enabled innovation – How does the Internet enable
new forms of corporate goods, communication and interaction between
consumers, stakeholders and companies? </strong> Consumers, companies
and stakeholders are able to put their heads together virtually in order
to discuss, to cooperate, to collaborate or to be creative. This
session focuses on Internet-based collaborative innovation and provides a
forum for researchers who address these issues with empirical,
theoretical or application-oriented perspectives. </li><br>
<br>
<li><strong>Entrepreneurship – What are the hindering and promoting factors of Internet-enabled entrepreneurship? </strong>
In recent years, Internet-enabled entrepreneurship has grown to become a
considerable driver of innovation and growth. Our session focuses on
the role and nature of entrepreneurial clusters, but also on the process
of developing a business model and starting up an enterprise.</li></ol></div><div apple-content-edited="true"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span>All details can be found at <a href="http://colloquium.hiig.de/index.php/esrc/2013/schedConf/cfp">http://colloquium.hiig.de/index.php/esrc/2013/schedConf/cfp</a></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div>********************<br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline">
