Promoting gender perspectives in the digital revolution is still an ongoing major challenge. What are promising and innovative interventions and where are the areas of interest? How can researchers and practitioners cooperate to prevent troublesome gendering in IT? How can the mutual exchange of gender knowledge and IT expertise be made effective? This conference looks for inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to consider gender in shaping and creating digital change. Researchers in HCI and design research, science and technology studies, gender studies, computer science, and related fields from universities, research facilities as well as research departments of companies. The main goal is to fill the gap between theory and practice and to share and transfer research in the following gender related topics:

• Organizational Culture in IT
• Gender and VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity)
• Agile Methods and Gender Equality
• Ubiquitous Computing
• De-Gendering IT
• DevOps und Gender
• Gender-sensitive IT-Design
• Experience Design
• Gender & HCI
• Gender and Diversity in Computer Science
• Gender Approaches in IT projects

A paper should consist of 4-10 pages including figures and a maximum 150 word abstract. References do not count toward the page limit. Submissions in German need to translate the title and abstract (150 word maximum still applies), submissions in English do not need German translations. Only original work will be accepted, i.e. your submission cannot be published or under review elsewhere.

Short Paper/Poster: Short Papers are for preliminary findings, designs, or other projects and innovations related to the topics. They are two-page papers following the ACM format (template ACM_SigConf) including figures and a maximum 150 word abstract. References do not count toward the page limit. Make sure your submission is anonymized for the review process. Submissions in German need to translate the title and abstract (150 word maximum still applies), submissions in English do not need German translations. At the conference, short papers will be presented with a poster that covers the essential aspects and encourages productive discussions with participants.
