The upcoming conference will feature interactions with key industry representatives, case studies demonstrating impact from the Digital Economy programme, keynote presentations, formal paper sessions including papers from doctoral students, posters, integrated workshops, and technology demonstrations.
This enthusiastic, multidisciplinary environment is the ideal venue to meet other innovative thinkers and share ideas about how to make an impact in various sectors, such as government, transport, health and creative industries, increasing the potential for improving quality of life, social inclusion and sustainability. This year the conference focuses on the theme of Digital Engagement.

Call for Papers
Submissions are welcome from anyone in the research or industrial community whether funded by the Digital Economy Programme or not. A continuing goal of the programme is to create a community that is capable of world class, leading research in the Digital Economy and one that produces trained researchers with the necessary cross-disciplinary skills to have a real impact in this area. This Digital Futures conference is a key event designed to encourage the development of this community. Discussion and community building will be a key part of this event.
