Panels

Wirtschaftsinformatik addresses highly relevant, visionary and, as a consequence, often controversially discussed topics. Particularly in the context of the overarching conference theme “WI for Grand Challenges – Grand Challenges for WI”, panels offer an important forum for the inclusion of a multitude of perspectives through the interaction between renowned experts and the audience. This setting advances the understanding of topics with high relevance for the WI community and sets the stage for a discussion of innovative research questions as well as problem-solving approaches.

Technological progress, an increasingly globalized environment for economic competition, a growing intertwinement and interdependence of actors in the economic arena as well as social changes are only a few of many changes, which create Grand Challenges and thereby give rise to novel research questions or challenge established perspectives in WI. We therefore encourage panels, which address these challenges, discuss novel approaches, illustrate exciting new perspectives or forge links to other disciplines. We welcome panel proposals with innovative design elements, which are deliberately tailored to spark interactions or to enhance the exchange of ideas as well as knowledge. Planned panels shall not exceed the timeframe of 90 minutes.
