Dear colleagues,

SEASON is a new international forum for researchers, practitioners, and activists critically engaging with the roles of search engines and algorithmic technologies in society. It aims to build community across disciplines and create space for shared reflection on search as both infrastructure and cultural force.

  *   2 Keynotes
  *   20 Long Presentations
  *   10 Short Presentations
  *   17 Posters
  *   2 Interactive Sessions

Topics include:
• Search engine bias and algorithmic visibility
• Generative AI in search
• Information disorders and disinformation
• Regulation, policy, and platformisation
• Everyday search practices and infrastructures
• Critical and creative approaches to search
• …and much more.

Early bird registration (until 1 August):

  *   Regular: €100
