With a particular focus on digital information and communications technologies, the conference will address: human usability, technologies for citizenship and community participation, and learning technologies. Participants will include researchers, teachers and practitioners whose interests are either technical or humanistic, or whose work crosses over between the applied technological and social sciences.

The conference features an impressive line up of international main speakers, including Mr. S.

The conference will also include numerous paper, workshop and colloquium presentations.
