The working groups present their work in workshops. All conference participants are invited to participate in the discussion and the development of new findings. If working groups are planning an internal workshop, we will indicate this in the program.

Participation / Conference fee for speakers
Please note: The Mensch und Computer Conference is not an industry conference and therefore not profit-oriented. This means that the conference fees for all participants can be kept low compared to other conferences. For authors of conference contributions accepted for presentation, the same conference fees apply as for all other participants!
