Join us for the fifteenth annual iConference in Borås, Sweden, March
23-26, 2020, jointly hosted by the University of Borås, Sweden, and Oslo
Metropolitan University, Norway.




WHAT The iConference brings together scholars, researchers and
professionals addressing critical information issues in contemporary
society. The iConference pushes the boundaries of information studies,
explores core concepts and ideas, and creates new technological and
conceptual configurations – all shaping interdisciplinary discourses.

THEME The iConference 2020 invites papers on all current critical
information issues. Contributions within the theme of sustainable
digital communities are particularly encouragﾭed. Participants are
invited to discuss sustainability from ethical, social, ecological,
economic and technological perspectives. This includes trusting
communities, equality, openness, privacy, cultural heritage and access
to digital worlds. What are the consequences of the seemingly limitless
expansion of production, processing and storage of information?




WHERE The conference takes place in Borås, Sweden. Borås is one of
Scandinavia’s key fashion and textile cities. It has deep-rooted
historical links to the textile industry, combined with a contemporary
artistic and cultural vibe, including a significant street art
collection. The conference will be set in the city centre with easy
access to hotels, restaurants, shops and public transport. 




ISCHOOLS The iConference is presented by the iSchools
(https://ischools.org/), a worldwide association of information schools
dedicated to advancing the information field and preparing students and
scholars to meet the information challenges of the 21st Century.
Affiliation with the iSchools is not required – all information
scholars, researchers, and professionals are welcome at the iConference.





TRACKS As always, the iConference will include rigorously peer-reviewed
papers and posters, as well as workshops and sessions for interaction
and engagement (SIEs), interﾭspersed with various venues for networking.
This conference will include a “Visions” track with papers that present
ideas and visions that stimulate the iSchools research community to
pursue new directions. The Doctoral Student Colloquium and the Early
Career Colloquium will encourage early-career researchers to engage with
other scholars for discussions and sharing their research. The Student
symposium will provide an opportunity for students to present their work
and expand their networks. 




PUBLISHING Springer’s Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series will
publish full and short research papers in the conference proceedings,
which will be indexed by major services such as Web of Science and
Scopus. Full and short research papers can simultaneously be posted as
green open access to a repository. Posters and Visions papers will be
deposited in the open access Illinois Digital Environment for Access to
Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS) repository. Other submissions will be
archived on the conference website.
