The goal of TICTeC is to promote and share rigorous and meaningful research into online technologies and digital democracy around the world. The conference facilitates discussion and networking amongst individuals and groups to find real-world solutions through sharing evidence of impact, and (importantly) evidence of what doesn’t work.

In association with the OECD, TICTeC 2019 will bring together individuals from academic and applied backgrounds as well as businesses, public authorities, NGOs, funders and education institutions to discuss ideas, present research and build a network of individuals interested in the civic technology landscape.

This two day conference provides the opportunity for researchers to present theoretical or empirical work related to the conference theme. We encourage presentation submissions to focus on the specific impacts of technologies, rather than showcase new tools that are as yet untested. We also welcome proposals for individuals/organisations to lead workshops or give presentations relating to the conference theme.

We invite individuals to submit abstracts or workshop / presentation proposals of no more than 300 words by 11th January 2019.

Those selected for inclusion in the conference programme will be notified no later than 18th January 2019.

Presenters will be required to register for the conference by 1st February in order to confirm their slot (the registration fee will be waived for individuals presenting).

If you need guidance on submitting a session proposal don't hesitate to contact us on tictec@mysociety.org.
