[Commlist] 8th European Communication Conference

*8th European Communication Conference (6-9 September 2021) goes online *

	

ECREA is happy to announce that the 8th European Communication 
Conference - Communication and Trust, scheduled for *6-9 September 
2021*, will take place as an *online conference*.

The conference, initially scheduled for October 2020, was postponed to 
September 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the current state of 
the pandemic and the rather grim outlook for being able to organise a 
major international physical event in September, the International 
Organising Committee has decided to organize the event in an online format.

Since we strongly believe that ECREA conferences are more than merely 
occasions for the unidirectional broadcast of research findings, the 
conference will take place as a live online event. We will not rely on 
pre-recorded presentations – *all panels will be organised as live 
sessions, with presentations given in real time*. The format of the 
plenary sessions will also be adjusted to the new digital reality. Only 
a small number of special sessions, such as poster sessions, will be 
pre-recorded.

We aim to facilitate *as much interaction as possible*, mimicking the 
physical conference format but also embracing the new opportunities of 
the online format. *All live sessions will be recorded, so you will be 
able to catch-up on the ones you missed or have overlapped with your 
schedule*. Due to the online format, we are able to dedicate more time 
for Section, Network and Temporary Working Group business meetings. The 
participation in *elections of the next Executive Board* will also be 
enhanced – you will be able to vote even if you will not be a conference 
participant. The conference will not be limited to presenting authors – 
*a number of places will also be offered to members and non-members who 
have not been accepted to the conference to participate as 
non-presenting “auditors”*.

More information is available on the online conference website: 
https://www.ecrea2021.eu/

The registration process opens on *13 April 2021*, the information on 
grants for young scholars will be published in mid-April and the 
deadline for confirmation of participation is *6 May 2021*. Plenary 
sessions will be announced in May.

All accepted participants will receive a separate email with detailed 
instructions on confirmation and registration.
