University of Helsinki
Epistemic Challenges and Democratic Accountability in European Media conference will take place on 24-25 October 2024 at the University of Helsinki.
The two-day conference seeks to address the relations between knowledge production, technologies and inequalities in a datafied and polarised communicat
ion landscape. How could new technologies be steered towards more equitable and responsible outcomes? How can employing epistemic frameworks help us to identify, understand and mitigate algorithmic harms and support epistemic justice and agency?
MAPS project organizes the conference together with the research consortium Epistemic Democratic Capacities at the Era of Algorithms (DECA) and the The Euromedia Research Group.
Call for abstracts will be published at the beginning of 2024.
Important dates:

– The acceptance notifications will be provided by April 26
– The full programme will be released at the end of May
Stay tuned for more information!
