Research and Education Advancements

in Culture and Technology

October 20–21, 2025 | Vienna, Austria
Submission Deadline: July 6, 2025
REACT 2025 is the inaugural edition of a new annual academic conference dedicated to exploring the evolving intersections of culture and technology.

Held in Vienna, just before the Culttech Summit 2025, REACT 2025 invites scholars, researchers, educators, and practitioners to engage in visionary dialogue and critical reflection on the broad range of transformations driven by the interaction of cultural and technological forces.

We welcome contributions from across fields and approaches that explore, challenge, and reimagine this dynamic interplay.

REACT: Key Highlights

Transdisciplinary
Bringing together researchers from diverse fields to examine a shared focus— how art, culture, and creativity intersect with technological innovation and shape society.

Vision-forming
Building complex, nuanced understandings of contemporary culture-technology dynamics, embracing both breakthroughs and uncertainties.

Education-focused
Exploring how educational practices must evolve at this intersection to respond to both scholarly and market-driven needs.

Connected to the CultTech Summit
Held just before the Culttech Summit, REACT bridges academic and public dialogue. This connection extends the impact of REACT’s insights into broader cultural and tech conversations. Combo tickets (REACT + Culttech Summit) let participants engage in both events.
