Dear air-ls (the nobility of Internet research ;-): I would like to point you to this year's German Online Research Conference (GOR'02): http://www.gor.de/gor02/index_e.htm It will take place in the beautiful University of Hohenheim's castle near Stuttgart in Germany, October 10-11, just days before AoIR conference. The conference features keynote addresses by Mick Couper (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) on 'Visual Design Effects in Web-Surveys' and by Andy Mueller-Maguhn (Member of ICANN) on 'Battlefields in Global Policy Development and their impact on the Internet', and a symposium on 'Social desirability online', chaired by Adam Joinson (The Open University, UK). Also there will be sessions on 'Ensuring quality in online research', 'Cross media', 'Internet, Globalization, and Society', 'Methodology', 'Online market research & e-commerce', and 'Internet-based experiments', totaling about 60 talks and 30 poster presentations. And, I might add, the traditional Thursday night GOR party (deemed legendary...). The conference schedule, with links to all abstracts, can be viewed at http://www.gor.de/gor02/programm_en.html There is a 20% reduction on GOR conference fees for those who also attend AoIR. Please register online at http://www.gor.de/gor02/join_gor_e.php You are advised to make reservations soon, because accomodation is limited in the Stuttgart area. Best wishes from Zurich, --u -- ********** Dr. Ulf-Dietrich Reips Psychology department, University of Zurich Vice president, German Society for Online Research http://dgof.de/indexe.htm
