For the interdisciplinary YEAR 2012, the Austrian Association for New Media (Forum Neue Medien Austria) invites contributions on -œELearning research done by young researchers- to foster the exchange of innovative approaches and research results.

eLearning, technology-enhanced learning, and research about the use of new media in higher education are among the Association's key areas of interest. The executive committee will bring together related work in the field, and the conference track will offer an opportunity for the exchange of research results.

Convinced that young people need a chance for presenting their work to a broader community, students and young researchers are invited to submit research results of their master theses, PhD work, and similar projects.
