Titel
The Use of Hybrid Meeting Formats to Increase International Collaboration in Scientific Research
Abstract
The following article considers two examples that illustrate how digitalization is changing the way in which scientific conferences and similar events are run. It begins with a description of the Virtual World Tour, which formed part of last year's Future of Work Conference, and of the follow-up symposium, which likewise incorporated digital elements. The staging of hybrid and virtual events presents conference management with a raft of new challenges and organizational issues. Not least of these is the question of how best to combine analog and digital forms of interaction.
