<div class="">Connected Life 2015 is a day-long conference dedicated to igniting multidisciplinary exchanges and showcasing exciting Internet research. We welcome students and faculty from all disciplines, including (but not limited to) business, computer science,
economics, education, history, international relations, law, linguistics, literature, media and communications, medicine, philosophy, politics, psychology, and sociology. Like last year’s inaugural conference, Connected Life 2015 will foster collaborations
within and beyond Oxford in pursuit of an enhanced understanding of the Internet and its multifaceted effects upon society.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We invite the submission of proposals for presentations on ongoing or recent research. Proposals that address our key thematic questions are particularly encouraged: How does our digital society intersect with existing social structures, institutions,
and relationships? What are the impacts of digital technology on society and how will these evolve? Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Politics and Public Policy</div>
<div class=""> Science and Technology</div>
<div class=""> Teaching and Education</div>
<div class=""> Gender and Identity</div>
<div class=""> Digital Humanities</div>
<div class=""> Cybersecurity, Surveillance, and Censorship</div>
<div class=""> Big Data Methods</div>
<div class=""> Entrepreneurship and Innovation</div>
<div class=""> Virtual Markets and Economies</div>
<div class=""> Internet Infrastructure and Protocols</div>
<div class=""> Social Networking</div>
<div class=""> History of the Internet</div>
<div class=""> Mobile Technologies</div>
<div class=""> Media and Journalism</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The above categories are intended only to provide a general direction for what can be discussed. We welcome submissions on any research topic related to the Internet; if you have questions about this, please contact a member of the organising
team. Please note that as we are calling for presentations, not papers, proceedings will not be published. Therefore, we are willing to consider abstracts based on papers submitted to other conferences. However, we do recommend that clarification is first
sought from the other intended destination(s) for your work.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Submissions for oral presentations should be in the form of either an abstract or blog post of 400-600 words. Please submit via email (to
<a href="mailto:connectedlife@oii.ox.ac.uk" class="">connectedlife@oii.ox.ac.uk</a>) by Tuesday, 31st March 2015. We encourage blog posts that can be published on this website and generate discussion before and after the conference; however, the choice of a
blog post or traditional abstract will not affect acceptance.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We are also accepting abstracts or blogs posts (also of 400-600 words) for our Poster and Visualisation Fair, which will be running all day with a dedicated session for questions after lunch. Time and space permitting, any sort of visual is welcome
(e.g., videos, interactive displays). We will do our best to accommodate interesting work that fits with the conference theme.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">All abstracts and blog posts will be reviewed by a committee of students and faculty from the Oxford Internet Institute. Notification of acceptances will be communicated in mid-late April.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We are pleased to announce that we are able to provide travel support bursaries (of around £100-150) for a limited number of participants from outside the UK and Europe. If you are in need of financial assistance for travel, please indicate this
in your submission.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Registration will open in April. Like last year, there will be a registration fee of £10 that covers lunch, tea and coffee, and a reception at the end of the day.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We look forward to receiving and reviewing your submissions! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us at
<a href="mailto:connectedlife@oii.ox.ac.uk" class="">connectedlife@oii.ox.ac.uk</a>.</div>
