Governance in international organizations - Potentials and pitfalls for
digitalization
Panel discussion

International organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, hold a
central role on the global stage and thus play a significant part in shaping our
daily lives. A prime example is the 1998 moratorium on customs duties for
electronic transmissions. This agreement has enabled digital goods and services
to be traded globally without tariffs, which could be used to modulate the
development of digital societies across the world.
This panel seeks to unravel often impenetrable aspects of international
negotiations and affairs. We bring together insiders from these organizations
and researchers specializing in digital transformation to delve into the inner
workings of international relations. The discussion will explore the potentials
and pitfalls of digitalization for international governance.

Second call for Graduate Symposium: Diagrams 2024 

14th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams
September 27 – October 1, 2024
University of Münster, Germany
www.diagrams-conference.org/2024

 Highlights 
 
- Graduate Symposium
- Participation cost support for eligible students
- Three Tracks: Main, Philosophy, and Psychology and Education
- Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards
- Keynote speakers: Mateja Jamnik, Catarina Dutilh Novaes and Barbara
Tversky
- Graduate Symposium submission deadline May 31, 2024.



The Diagrams conference provides a united forum for all researchers with an
interest in the study of diagrams. The conference fosters
multi-disciplinarity and allows researchers from areas such as computer
science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history (of science, art,
etc.), education research, and more to meet and share their perspectives on
the theory and application of diagrams.

The goal of the Diagrams 2024 Graduate Symposium is twofold. Firstly, the
Symposium will provide senior graduate students and recent Masters and
Doctoral graduates with the opportunity to present their research.
Established researchers will provide feedback and comments on each of the
presentations. Secondly, the Symposium will provide students with an
opportunity to network with each other as future colleagues.

In previous Diagrams Graduate Symposiums, lively and useful discussions
have enabled students to receive suggestions about their on-going research
and allowed more experienced participants to hear some fresh ideas and view
some of the new trends in the field.



Submission Requirements

Submissions that focus on any aspect of diagrams research are welcome.
Topics of interest are the same as those given in the calls for papers for
the three conference tracks.

Students who wish to present their work at the symposium must submit a
3-page report describing:

– their thesis topic,
– the approach being taken,
– the work that has been completed,
– the expected contributions of the research, and
– any necessary acknowledgements (for example, supervision team and source
funding.

Students should be the sole author of their submission and the supervisor
names should be included in the acknowledgements section. The report must
be submitted in Springer LNCS format. More details can be found at:
https://diagrams-2024.diagrams-conference.org/calls/graduate-symposium/

Supervisor Support

Students who submit to the graduate symposium must ask their main or lead
supervisor to submit a short supporting statement, by email to Leonie
Bosveld, l.m.bosveld [at] rug.nl

The supporting statement should confirm that the supervisor supports the
student’s participation in the symposium and briefly explain why the
student will benefit. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that
their supervisor submits the supporting statement

Participation Support Costs

Participants may request fundings. Eligibility requirements:

    -    Student needs to be studying at a US institution
    -    Student needs to actively participate in the grad symposium (e.g. they
    can give a talk during the main conference, but they would still have to
    attend the grad symposium event and participate in any mentoring)
