  *Conference Themes*

C&T focuses on the notion of communities as social entities comprised of 
people who share something in common; this common element may be 
geography, needs, interests, practices, organizations, or other bases 
for social connection. Communities are considered to be a basic unit of 
social experience. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can 
support community formation and development by facilitating 
communication and coordination among members, as well as enable and 
empower communities to deal with challenges and threats.

Topics appropriate for submission to this conference are manifold. 
Examples of some of the vibrant areas of communities and technology 
research include, but are not limited to:

  * /Communities, technologies and government
    (learning/education, health, cultural heritage, crises and natural
    disasters)/
  * /Civic Activism, Community Engagement, Participatory Publics/
  * /Communities and innovation/
  * /Crowdsourcing, crowdfunding, collective intelligence/
  * /Maker communities (makerspaces, Fablabs, crafters) and DIY/
  * /Online and offline communities/
  * /Urban and rural communities; urban technologies; urban informatics;
    urban interaction design/
  * /Smart communities in the context of smart cities/
  * /Sustainable communities/
  * /Communities, social media and social capital/
  * /Community-centred Design, Infrastructuring and Evaluation
    Methodologies/
  * /Ethnographic and case studies of communities/
  * /Communities, ICTs and Economic and Social Development./

*Doctoral Consortium*

The Doctoral Consortium is scheduled prior to the main conference 
programme, on Sunday 28 June 2015. The Doctoral Consortium (DC) offers 
research students a special forum where they can present, discuss and 
progress their research plans with peers and established senior researchers.
Research students wishing to attend the doctoral consortium should 
submit up to 4 pages, using the ACM SIGCHI two column layout 
<http://www.sigchi.org/chipubform>, addressing the following: 
Introduction setting up your research area and specific research 
question(s)/goals(s) (including key related work); Overall research 
approach, methodology, and expected contributions; Work in progress 
(including findings to date and next steps); Questions and issues for 
discussion, and what you hope to gain from attending the DC; short bio.
Please send proposals to the Doctoral Consortium Chairs: 
dc at comtech.community <mailto:dc at comtech.community>

*Student Volunteers*

C&T actively encourages students to volunteer at the conference. Being a 
student volunteer is a great way to support the research community, meet 
other students in the field, and attend an international ACM conference. 
You will help the conference organisers with the running of the 
conference and support the setting-up of presentations and workshops. 
You will see the latest in C&T research and development, and have fun 
while learning about running the conference. In return, you will get 
free registration. To apply, email us your contact details (email, 
phone, university), an abstract of your research project, a CV, and the 
reasons why you would like to be a student volunteer.
Please send applications to the Student Volunteers Chair: 
volunteers at comtech.communit <mailto:volunteers at comtech.community>
