CONFERENCE SCHEDULE

Digital Ecologies in Practice will be a two-day hybrid event, held both 
in-person and online.

Day One (in-person only) will involve several practical outings and 
exhibitions. Participants will get hands-on experience with a range of 
digital technologies, including immersive VR nature experiences, a 
demonstration of digital fences, and a ‘digital urban ecologies walk’. 
On this day we are delighted to host a range of immersive exhibitions 
and talks with design practitioners engaging digital methods and 
technologies to explore themes of ecology.


Day Two (in-person and online) will follow a more standard conference 
format, consisting of several panels and a keynote event (tbc). 
In-person participants will have the option of dining together at the 
end of each day. We have a limited amount of funding available to cover 
the travel costs of several participants. In your proposals, please 
indicate whether you would like to apply for this funding. Participants 
are encouraged to seek funding from their institutions, funding bodies, 
and departments. Priority will be given to PhD candidates, early career 
researchers, and non-tenured academics.

We encourage scholars and practitioners from a range of disciplines to 
apply: social scientists; natural scientists; humanities scholars; 
artists/designers; and beyond. Interdisciplinary collaborations are 
highly encouraged.

DIGITAL ECOLOGIES IN PRACTICE SPECIAL ISSUE WITH CGIP

Following the conference, we will submit a proposal for a special issue 
of cultural geographies in practice. Contributions will document and 
reflect on creative, practical, and experimental uses of digital 
technologies and mediation in relation to environmental governance and 
knowledge production, human-nonhuman encounters, and digitised 
more-than-human worlds more broadly. The editors of CGiP have already 
expressed their support for this endeavour.

----------------------------------------

Digital Ecologies in Practice is co-organised by the Digital Ecologies 
team (http://www.digicologies.com/about/team/) and Dr Julia Poerting, 
with financial support from the University of Bonn, the German Research 
Foundation (project number 446600467), the Economic and Social Research 
Council, and the European Research Council.
