We invite PhD students, researchers, professionals, or practitioners who have worked in interdisciplinary research collaborations involving digital technology with and/or for vulnerable groups. Those interested in being part of the workshop will be required to fill out and submit their expression of interest to join the workshop via an online application form.
The application form will confirm their expression of interest to be a workshop participant. It will also ask for an abstract of about 200 words where the potential participant will describe their research background and prior experiences in interdisciplinary research (e.g., lessons learned, challenges, etc.) We will also ask participants to share one image with a short caption that illustrates an aspect of their work with vulnerable populations, to symbolise a challenge, a snapshot of their practice etc. The form will also gather expectations from the workshop.
We will select between 5 - 10 participants from different disciplines who work with a variety of populations, methods, and topics.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Finding research collaborators outside Computer Science
Best practices in designing and executing interdisciplinary research with vulnerable groups
Collaborative research plan, design, and execution
Sharing of research outcomes across different disciplines
Privacy and Confidentiality
Ethical Considerations
Submissions will be accepted based on the relevance and development of the chosen topic, as well as their potential to contribute to the workshop discussions and goals.
The application form should be filled out by May 27th, 2024 DEADLINE EXTENDED: June 10th, 2024 (midnight AoE). (After this date you can still submit the form and will depend on whether there are still available spots). At least one author of each accepted expression of interest submission must attend the workshop. Workshop participants must register for the workshop (pre-conference option).
