DiGeMERGE 2025 is an international conference organized by researchers from the Digital Emergency Communication (DIGeMERGE) project. Funded under the CHANSE programme by the EU Commission (Horizon 2020) and Nordic research councils, DIGeMERGE explores the role of digital tools and platforms in public emergency communication across the Nordic countries.
The conference provides a platform for researchers and students to present their work on the digital transformation of public emergency communication. Whether focusing on emergency management theories, risk analysis methods, or empirical case studies, participants will have the opportunity to share insights and engage with scholars from diverse disciplines, including the natural and social sciences.
Researchers are invited to submit extended abstracts (1-2 pages) via EasyChair by 1 June 2025. The conference aims to foster collaboration among European researchers and professionals, advancing knowledge on digital emergency communication in an increasingly connected world.

Prof. Knobloch-Westerwick is a leading scholar in media psychology and mediated communication, currently serving as Professor of Mediated Communication (Web Science) at Technische Universität Berlin. Her research offers critical insights into how individuals engage with information during crises, particularly through the lens of selective exposure and message effects in high-stakes contexts. Her work is highly relevant to understanding public response and media influence in emergency and disaster communication. With over 100 peer-reviewed publications and multiple books, Dr. Knobloch-Westerwick continues to shape discourse on how mediated messages can inform or mislead during times of uncertainty. She also serves as co-editor of Communication Research and contributes to several top-tier journals in communication science.
