PERSUASIVE 2010 - The Fifth International Conference on Persuasive Technology

DESIGN FOR CHANGE
JUNE 7-9, 2010
Copenhagen, Denmark

Hosted by the Royal School of Library and Information Science in collaboration with Aalborg University and Oulu University.

 

Persuasive Technology is a young and vibrant research field, focusing on how interactive technologies may be used to create, maintain, or change human thought and behavior. Combining well-established research methods and traditions from epistemology, rhetoric, social psychology, communication, and information science with cutting-edge technologies brings about a special flavor characteristic of the Persuasive Technology conferences. 

 

The Copenhagen conference will feature new insights, research and practice into how the development and use of technology may change and influence our behavior, thoughts, feelings and society at large. The conference will gather people interested in networking, presenting, discussing and reflecting on central themes associated with persuasive design and technology.

 

A two day doctoral workshop will precede the conference on June 5. - 6.  2010.

 

Academics and practitioners with an interest in research, theory, technologies, design, and applications related to persuasion are invited to submit their work for presentation at Persuasive 2010 to be held at The Royal Library in Copenhagen, Denmark.
