After more than twenty years of successful conferences in different cities and countries, the General Online Research Conference goes online
for the first time. We are taking this step because of our responsibility
for the health and safety of our conference participants, speakers, sponsors and staff in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. A virtual conference
is not an alternative format for us. We are convinced that not only the
topics and methods we encounter daily in our research are constantly
changing, but also the way we meet and network today and in the future. This is why we enter the virtual world of conferences with the same
confidence and curiosity that accompanies us in our everyday digital
research.
As in previous years, we have a great conference programme lined up
for you including keynotes, discussions, presentations, awards, posters
and much more. You can choose between four simultaneous conference
tracks: Track A covers “Survey Research: Advancements in Online and
Mobile Web Surveys”. Track B deals with “Data Science: From Big Data to
Smart Data”. Track C features “Politics, Public Opinion, and Communication”, and Track D covers “Digital Methods in Applied Research”. In addition,
we have three award competitions: i) the GOR Best Practice Award 2020
for the best practice study from applied online research, ii) the GOR Thesis Award 2020 for the best thesis (dissertation as well as bachelor and
master) in online research, iii) the GOR Poster Award 2020 for the best
poster of the conference. The DGOF Best Paper Award 2020 for the best
paper in online research will also be awarded at GOR.
