Experts from all over the world will be guests in Potsdam from June 23 to 24 and will exchange ideas on the conference topic "Knowledge, Uncertainty and Risks: From individual to global scale".

At a time when, on the one hand, we have masses of data at our disposal to create knowledge about consumer desires, but, on the other hand, they are not sufficiently available ¨C as the current pandemic or energy supply experiences show ¨C to create a comprehensive knowledge base for assessing the situation, shows how closely linked data and knowledge are to uncertainties and risks.

In addition to presentations from research and practice, the conference will also feature workshops, a poster session, and a bar camp organized by the Society for Knowledge Management (GfWM). The New Club of Paris, the think tank for the knowledge society, invites to talks in the Knowledge Cafe at the conference.

Scientists will present not only their current research on knowledge management, but also on topics such as data science, text analytics, and information science. The Society for Information and Knowledge (DGI) is also hosting a track, as is the Knowledge for Development Partnership Network.

Keynote speakers include Prof. Dr. Susanne Durst, professor at the School of Business and Governance at Tallinn University of Technology; Prof. Ortwin Renn, scientific director at the Institute for Transformative Sustainability Research (IASS) in Potsdam; and Dave Snowden, scientific director at Cynefin in Wales.
