Since the 2012-conference at this location was such an exciting and successful event, we took the opportunity to collaborate once again with the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative
State University Mannheim (DHBW) as local organizer. The
result of this collaboration is a fully packed program which has
something in it for every online researcher.
This year’s conference program is even more extensive than
the 2012 one. Firstly, the SymanO’ 13, organized by Prof. Dr.
Martin Kornmeier (DHBW) extends the GOR program, giving
conference participants a yet wider spectrum of topics and
presentations to choose from.
Secondly, Monday morning begins with our second PhD workshop which is organized in collaboration with the section “Computervermittelte Kommunikation” of DGPuK (www.dgpuk.de).
And thirdly, we extended the workshop program with more indepth professional training to take place on Monday and Wednesday.
We also would like to draw your attention to our keynote speakers. John Kearon, ChiefJuicer at BrainJuicer, UK, and known
for his insightful and fun speeches, will open the conference
on Tuesday and talk about “The Need for Faster Marketing Thinking & Slower Use of Flawed Traditional Research”. On Wednesday, William H. Dutton, Professor for Internet Studies at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, UK, will examine critically the Internet‘s
role in enabling new forms of democratic and social accountability in his keynote “The
future of the Internet and the fifth estate. The Internet‘s Gift to Democracy.”
