Heraklion, 3-5 April 2020
The Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, after the successful implementation of the five PanHellenic / International scientific Conferences, is glad to announce to the members, colleagues and friends, the scientific and academic community and to whom it may concern, the planning of the organization of the 6th International Scientific Conference, with the main topic:
“Communication, information, awareness and education in late modernity”.
The Conference will take place at Heraklion, Crete, on 3 – 5 April 2020.
In the course of history, the production and management of knowledge and information, as well as the information and communication processes, have always been the driving force behind historical and social evolution. The present era is characterized, inter alia, by a radical change in the above fields, as far as their operation and the relationships among them are concerned, with significant impact on the public and private life.
The dramatic changes that have taken place in recent years have showcased the dynamics of the information society and the communication society. The underlying cause of the developments was primarily the general invasion of the new information and communication technologies in all aspects of social life. Change is not the simple introduction of new media, communication channels and educational practices, but is a wider and multi-dimensional social occasion, with significant implications and consequences for science, research, education, civil society, marketplace operation, politics, and simple aspects of everyday life. Through the different aspects of globalization, the phenomenon is increasingly affecting the whole spectrum of social life, at a time when everything is interconnected. It is made prominent here the bidirectional relationship and interaction between knowledge and information, training and media, consumption and communication, information and research, social formation and education. At the same time, various dangers emerge, such as social manipulation, propaganda, fake news and more. Concerns are also raised about the protection of privacy and sensitive social groups, the distinction between the public and the private, the dominance of information over knowledge, equal access to information, knowledge and media, etc.
The main aim of the 6th International Scientific Conference is the critical inquiry and the scientific debate on current developments in the areas of information, communication and media, with a central focus on their impact primarily in the field of research, education and training and the wider society, in culture, in economics and in politics.
