Call for Contributions

5th European Symposium on Gender & ICT
“Digital Cultures: Participation - Empowerment - Diversity"
University of Bremen, Germany, March 5 - 7, 2009

Information Society with its variety of new information and  
communication media offers many new options to participate in today's  
social, cultural, political and economic activities. However, chances  
are still distributed unequally, e.g. by class, ethnicity, age - and  
by gender. Access to and the ability to use information and  
communication technology (ICT) are necessary prerequisites for  
participation. On top of this, involvement in ICT design is a highly  
prestigious activity.
On the 5th European Gender and ICT Symposium we will take a closer  
look at the complex interdependences between gender and ICT. We will  
explore ways to increase appreciation of diversity in design and use  
and to strengthen empowerment and participation by means of ICT. This  
conference, the fifth in a row of symposia held in Europe since 2003,  
traditionally provides a meeting point for researchers from various  
disciplines and research schools dealing with gender and ICT. We  
invite you to share your experiences!

Submission of abstracts by September 1, 2008.
