Web Studies - ACM In-coop

Web Studies is an international conference organized with ACM in-cooperation that brings together researchers exploring the social, cultural, technological, and political dimensions of the World Wide Web. The 2026 edition is held in Alessandria, Italy from October 21–23, continuing an interdisciplinary tradition that bridges computer science, communication studies, and social science. Topics include web accessibility, online communities, hypertext structures, misinformation and content moderation, privacy on the web, and the evolving architecture of the open internet. The conference welcomes both technical papers and humanistic analyses, reflecting its commitment to studying the web as both a technical infrastructure and a social phenomenon. Web Studies provides a distinctive cross-disciplinary venue for researchers who work across the boundaries separating technical and social analysis of digital systems.
