För alla som funderar på ungas säkerhet på nätet dyker det nu upp en mycket intressant konferens – Risk-taking Online Behaviour – Young people, harm and resilience. Det är projektet Robert – Risktaking Online Behaviour Empowerment Through Research and Training – som avslutas med en internationell forskningskonferens i Berlin 23-24 maj.

Det är stora chanser att det blir många intressanta presentationer, jag har aldrig sett en så pass ambitiös och informerad lista över tänkbara ämnen.

Conference themes
This conference will be centred on the following themes:

• Theory building around online sexual victimisation using young people’s own accounts of the processes in place leading up to the abuse
• The relationship between risk and harm.
• Research gaps, research practices and ethical challenges.
• Assistance strategies and tools for young people abused online.  
• Perpetrators and young people: understanding the interaction between them.
• Young people believed to be more at risk: Supporting young peoples’ resilience

Det är stor risk att konferensen fylls snabbt så jag anmälde mig innan jag skrev detta, för att vara säker på att få en plats. Deras call ser ut så här:
