Proposals are invited for roundtable discussions, workshops, papers/

to the conference’s main focus. The conference’s official language

Providing a specially positioned “Next Generation”-thread, the
conference is very interested, to create a forum for young scholars,
scientists, artists as well as for students, and encourages them to
send in their proposals. Please send abstracts for roundtable
discussions, papers/posters, workshops & proposals for compositions or
other artistic contributions by March 1, 2012.
As keynote presenters we expect Bill Fontana, R. Murray Schafer,
Hildegard Westerkamp et al.
Please note, that our venue is situated not far from Frankfurt airport
in beautiful historic surroundings, providing not only the productive
frame for an interesting conference, but also attractive landscapes,
very good wine, culinary highlights, therefore good conditions for
exchange and conviviality. All this makes, too, a central starting
point for your summerbreak, be it locally, nationally or
internationally.
We hope to welcome you in summer on our Media Campus Dieburg of
Hochschule Darmstadt.
Best,
Sabine Breitsameter
