Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the public conference “Connecting Scholar and
Citizen: The Emerging Social and Cultural Role of the Repository”, to be
held on Friday, 31 October 2025, at the Auditorium of the Botanical Garden
in Padua (Italy).
The event is jointly organized by the Universities of Vienna and Padua,
coordinated by the University of Padua’s Library Centre (CAB), as part of
the annual PHAIDRAcon meeting of the international PHAIDRA user community.
The conference, open to everyone, offers an opportunity to explore how digital
repositories are playing an increasingly important role in bridging academic
research and society, through Third Mission/Knowledge enhancement/Public
engagement projects, Citizen Science initiatives, and other forms of cultural
engagement.
Throughout the day, PHAIDRA partners will also present case studies on
projects already completed or currently in progress.

Subject: Panel on Climate Change Images - AI vs Human Translations - AISV/IAVS 2026 São Paulo
[From: Giglietto, Fabio via Air-L <air-l@listserv.aoir.org>]
Dear AoIR colleagues,
I'm forwarding this call for papers for a panel at the 14th Regional
Conference of the Association for Visual Semiotics (AISV/IAVS), which may
be of interest to those working on AI, visual culture, and climate
communication.
For those of us still feeling saudade after AoIR 2025 in Brazil, here's a
perfect excuse to return to São Paulo in February 2026!
Panel Title: Climate Change Images: Comparing Human Intersemiotic
Translations with AI-Generated Ones
Organizers: Tiziana Migliore (Università degli Studi di Urbino 'Carlo
Bo') & Luigi Arminio (IT University of Copenhagen)
Conference: 14th AISV/IAVS Conference - "Intersemiotic Translation before
and after the Emergence of Generative AI" Dates: February 9-11, 2026
Location: São Paulo, Brazil (Escola de Comunicação e Artes, University of
São Paulo)
This panel explores the differences between AI-generated and human
descriptions of climate-related images, examining how each approach
contributes to meaning-making and creativity. The panel builds on a
workshop held in Urbino that analyzed a corpus of 60 climate-related images
using both human experts and AI models (GPT-4 with vision). The analysis
includes similarity measures, linguistic metrics, and semiotic analysis to
understand what AI and humans capture or omit in their interpretations.
The panel seeks contributions that compare AI-generated image descriptions
with expert human interpretations, particularly focusing on questions of
enrichment vs. impoverishment in intersemiotic translation processes.
Key Dates:
- Panel proposals deadline: August 15, 2025 (2,000 characters)
- Individual paper abstracts deadline: October 31, 2025 (1,500-1,800
characters)
- Notification of acceptance: November 20, 2025
- Conference program: December 20, 2025
