ECSCW 2021
ECSCW 2021, the 19th European Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work: The international venue on Practice-centred computing and the Design of cooperation technologies, will take place in Zurich (Switzerland) on June 7-11, 2021.
Communities & Technologies 2021
The biennial Communities and Technologies conference is the premier international forum for stimulating scholarly debate and disseminating research on the complex connections between communities – in their multiple forms – and information and communication technologies. Communities and Technologies 2021 will take place from 21 - 25 June 2021 in Seattle, USA.
EUSSET Summer School
The school offers to the young researchers (PhD or post-doc) an opportunity to become aware of the challenges characterizing the CSCW research. The interaction among the participants (both teachers and students) will promote the generation of new ideas and their confrontation with the experiences they have acquired in their field research.

Nurturing the EUSSET Community: New Online Events
As part of our community building activities, we are starting two series of online events to bring our members together under different conditions and circumstances.
Welcome to EUSSET!
This is EUSSET
An Introduction
EUSSET strives to be the primary international community devoted to practice-centered computing, linking researchers worldwide. Based upon empirical, design-oriented and system development work in organizations and communities, practice-centered computing has provided concepts and innovative technologies that fit into practice and lead to more efficiency and a higher quality of labor and life by empowering the participants in these endeavors. We – as a community – base our work on and aim to foster inclusiveness, transparency and democracy on all levels.
Our Contribution
A Manifesto
We have entered the Digital Decade. During the previous 10 years, digitalization accelerated and those developments animated debates in the scientific, political and business communities. Participating in the above debates and proposing research and innovation perspectives requires the participation of all the members of our community. This participation will help us strengthen our awareness and develop ideas, viewpoints, theories, systems and methods, creating new and important contributions to debates, providing a unique perspective in research and innovation.
