19-21 October 2017, Lisbon


    Call for Papers: /Risk and Crisis Communication in the Digital Age/
    - 5th International Crisis Communication Conference

The 5th International Crisis Communication Conference will take place at 
*Universidade Católica Portuguesa*, *in Lisbon ( Portugal), on* *October 
19 – 21* . The conference is organized by *ECREA Crisis Communication 
Section* and hosted by the Research Centre for Communication and Culture 
(CECC), from Universidade Católica Portuguesa (UCP). *Professor W. 
Timothy Coombs*  - Texas A&M University is the first confirmed keynote 
speaker.

The 5th International Crisis Communication Conference  aims to discuss 
how crisis communication can be used by business and the public sector 
in a strategic fashion. *Which theories and case studies can help better 
plan and implement crisis communication plans?* How do organizations 
learn from the past, i.e. how do they evaluate previous crisis in order 
to be better prepared for the future? How did the digital challenge 
traditional strategies of crisis communication? Which sorts of new risks 
are brought by digital media and how can one learn from previous online 
crisis? Are corporate and non-corporate organizations ready to face 
online crisis communication?

While seeking an answer for these questions, the conference will deepen 
and extend the exchange of ideas and approaches across disciplines and 
between Crisis Communication  theories and researches. The conference 
includes *a panel for corporate discussion and cases presentation*, 
which will contribute to the industry crisis management debate.

The conference will also include Young Scholars activities - YECREA.
