Digeing Kick-off Meeting

 

Kick off meeting of the EU funded project Toward an interdisciplinary research agenda on digital media and human well-being (DIGEING – EU funded project (May 2021 – Nov 2022) coordinated by the CNRS). The meeting will start at 9:45am CET.

This event is open to all scholars and actors that aspire to have their researches funded by the EU, when they work at the interface between the study of Digital Media and the study of Human Well Being

 

Expectation for this meeting

The goal of the DIGEING project is to define challenges and research paths that has to be EU funded for the interdisciplinary study of the relations between digital media and human well-being. A large spectrum of disciples is targeted from cognitive sciences, psychology and linguistics to sociology, law and economics ; from digital humanities and computational social sciences to mathematics, statistical physics and computer sciences.

This EU project provides the academic community a unique opportunity to define EU scientific priorities from the “bottom-up” for the next decade. They will feed future calls for projects.

The main output of this initiative will be a synthesis of the current understanding of the impact of digital media on human behaviour and a research agenda with challenges and recommendations for policy and future digital media design.

In this meeting you will learn :

  1. Which methodology will be used to build an academic community based agenda on Digital Media and Human Well Being for the EU in 2022,

  2. How you can be involved in the future 18 months to have your research questions integrated into this agenda. We target low time consuming / high impact inputs.

Previsional schedule (am)

9:45 am Welcome

  • Welcome word by David Chavalarias
  • Presentation of motivations and expectations of the European Commission by Peter Friess, EU Program Officer at DG CONNECT.

  • Presentation of the methodology for a community building of a research agenda,

Advisory board members give their grands challenges ideas and path for bridging disciplines :

  • David Chavalarias : situated web, disinformation, socio-semantic structures

10:30 am  Collective brainstorming session on future steps

  • Feedback on the first state-of-the-art map and contribute to its update
  • How to bridge, integrate and connect the disciplinary sillos ? Brainstroming on challenges and priorities for future interdisciplinary research.

Maps of the research areas concerned by this agenda : are you In ?

An evolving map of the literature  on Digital Media and Human Well Being will be used as a representation of the disciplines and research questions concerned by this interdisciplinary research. If your research are not in this map, you can contribute so that it will be included in its forthcoming updates (about once every two months).
