Are you an activist, researcher, developer, teacher, or entrepreneur working toward an open and fair digital society? You are ready for action? Then you should be at re:publica 2012.

ACTION! The past years social media has become the vehicle for political and social movements. Today, digitalisation is affecting all areas of life, political, social and economic. It is time to review existing concepts of business, finance, mobility, and resource distribution. Following the DYI movement we aim to develop new models and ideas about consumption and production. At this year’s re:publica, we invite you to join us in re:thinking, re:designing and re:building today’s society.

YOU HAVE: A great idea, project or topic. We are looking for creative, high-level talks, engaging discussions and hands-on workshops for our 2012 programme. If you wish to contribute and be part of re:publica then please take part in our call for papers.
