DOS formal launch

 

There were three stimulating presentations from guest speakers: Dr Niran Subramaniam (School of Management, Royal Holloway; Professor Andrew Chadwick (Politics and International Relations, and Professor Robin Mansell (Media and Communication, London School of Economics). This was followed by the opportunity to network with colleagues over wine and canapés. 

The event also provided an opportunity to get to know the varied and interdisciplinary work of the DOS group, as posters around the venue summarised some of the important research undertaken by group members.  Topics included: digital labour; leadership in virtual teams; business ecosystems; platform services; shared digital spaces; on-line activism; open data; and network nations.

The official launch forms the start of a programme of activities which will support and promote the work of the group.  The group is keen to make connections with other researchers both inside and outside the university; and with practitioners working in this area. 

Anyone interested in the work of the group can contact the group convenors Dr Yingqin Zheng or Professor Gillian Symon.
