SEASON 2025: Conference on search engines and society in September 2025

The Search Engines and Society Network (SEASON) invites to the network’s first conference, taking place on 24 and 25 September 2025 at the University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) in Hamburg.

Following successful workshops organised by the network in Lund, Vienna, Hamburg and Birmingham, the format is now being expanded into a conference: the annual SEASON will examine the role of search engines from a social, cultural and technical perspective.

Researchers from various disciplines are invited to submit papers, panels, workshops, posters or short presentations and take part in interdisciplinary discussions. The range of possible topics is very broad. The conference is also explicitly aimed at students and experts from outside academia who would like to share their research and practical perspectives.
