Considering the current circumstances, the impact of the pandemic and ongoing travel bans, organizers of SocInfo2020 are moving forward with the assumption that SocInfo2020 will be a hybrid of in-person and online conference or a fully online conference probably in the originally scheduled dates of October 6-9, 2020. The exact format and schedule will be announced in due course. We will also announce a revised registration structure taking into account the new format of the conference for online participants.
Details of all the exact format of the conference will be announced later. Meanwhile, please get behind SocInfo2020, support Social Informatics research, and consider submitting your work to the conference.

The International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo2020) is an interdisciplinary venue that brings together researchers from the computational and social sciences to help fill the gap between the two communities. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum to help practitioners from the two disciplines define common research objectives and explore methodologies. The organizers welcome a broad range of contributions, from those that apply methods from the social sciences to the study of socio-technical systems, to the application of computational methods to the study of complex social processes and the use of social concepts in the design of information systems.
SocInfo2020 offers an opportunity for the dissemination of knowledge between the two communities by soliciting presentations of original research papers and experience-based case studies in computer science, sociology, psychology, political science, anthropology, economics, linguistics, artificial intelligence, social network analysis, and other disciplines that can shed light on the open questions in the growing field of computational social science.
SocInfo2020 will also offer keynote talks and invited talks that will be tailored to enhance the collaboration between the two research cultures in an era when social interactions are ubiquitous and span offline, online and augmented reality worlds.
Research topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
