[ecrea] Crisis 2: Communicating Crisis in an Age of Complexity & TWG on Crisis Communication

*"Crisis 2: Communicating Crisis in an Age of Complexity"
6-8 October 2011 in Aarhus, Denmark***

The conference "Crisis 2: Communicating Crisis in an Age of Complexity" 
organized by the Centre for Corporate Communication at Aarhus University 
in Denmark has now got the ECREA Temporary Working Group on Crisis 
Communication as partner. The participants will explore the complexity 
characterizing all types of organizational and societal crises, be they 
national or international. All types of organizations and nation-states 
have to pay attention to this complexity in their crisis management and 
crisis communication efforts. The conference is going to take up this 
challenge for both scholars and practitioners to develop concepts, 
models, theories, and practical approaches where this complexity is 
reflected and integrated.

The first international conference on "Crisis Communication at the 
Beginning of the 21st Century" took place at the Ilmenau University of 
Technology, Germany, in 2009. The second international conference, 
organized by ASB Centre for Corporate Communication, Aarhus School of 
Business and Social Sciences at Aarhus University, will take place on 
October 6-8, 2011. Confirmed plenary speakers include Professor 
Priscilla Murphy (Temple University, Philadelphia) and Professor 
Christophe Roux-Dufort (Laval University, Quebec).
