Kind regards, Claudia Müller C&T 2017 – Technology for the Common Good 26-30 June 2017, Université de Technologie de Troyes (UTT), France http://comtech.community/ == ABOUT C&T The biennial Communities and Technologies (C&T) conference is the premier international forum for stimulating scholarly debate and disseminating research on the complex connections between communities – both physical and virtual – and information and communication technologies. C&T 2017 welcomes participation from researchers, designers, educators, industry, and students from the many disciplines and perspectives bearing on the interaction between community and technology, including architecture, arts, business, design, economics, education, engineering, ergonomics, informatics, information technology, geography, health, humanities, law, media and communication studies, and social sciences. For the 2017 round of C&T, we welcome contributions that particularly pay attention on technology that can be deployed for the common good. The conference program includes competitively selected, peer-reviewed papers and case studies, as well as pre-conference workshops, a doctoral consortium, and invited keynotes. We look forward to welcoming you to an exciting conference in Troyes! Myriam Lewkowicz, Markus Rohde Conference Chairs chairs@comtech.community == IMPORTANT DATES * May 18 **extended**: Doctoral Consortium applications due * June 26-30: Doctoral consortium, workshops and conference in Troyes, France == DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM The Doctoral Consortium is scheduled prior to the main conference programme, on Monday, June 26, 2017. The Doctoral Consortium (DC) offers research students a special forum where they can present, discuss and progress their research plans with peers and established senior researchers. We especially welcome contributions which are related to the overall C&T conference theme, which is devoted to technology that can be deployed for the common good. This encompasses questions and approaches which are concerned with securing healthy and diverse ways of societal development. However, all contributions falling in the scope of the C&T conference are welcome. Research students wishing to attend the doctoral consortium should submit up to 4 pages, using the ACM templates, addressing the following: * Introduction setting up your research area and specific research question(s)/goals(s) (including key related work); * Overall research approach, methodology, and expected contributions; * Work in progress (including findings to date and next steps); * Questions and issues for discussion, and what you hope to gain from attending the DC; * Short bio.
