We are very happy to announce that the website for the Philosophy of Human-Technology Relations conference 2020 is online! Keep an eye on it, because in the upcoming days the website will be updated with the latest information.
PHILOSOPHY OF HUMAN-TECHNOLOGY RELATIONS
The PHTR conference reaches out to anyone interested in understanding, evaluating and shaping the relations between humans and technology, ranging from philosophers and ethicists of technology to social scientists, humanities scholars, artists, designers, and engineers. We want to bring together a community of people to foster dialogue and creative collaborations on the interactions between humans, technologies and society.

SOCIALISE IN INTERESTING TIMES
In the so-called social space, you can move through six virtual rooms, with an avatar of your choice. You can speak with all other people in the room: the closer you are to them, the better you can hear their voices. A ‘social space’ tab will soon be added to the conference site, and will explain all details.
