Chavalarias David, Beatrice De Gelder, Guido Caldarelli, Melanie Dulong de Rosnay, Antonio A. Casilli, et al.. Toward a Research Agenda on Digital Media and Humanity Well-Being. CNRS. 2023. ⟨hal-04091733v2⟩

This European Commission project (May 2021 – March 2023) aimed at synthesizing the current understanding of the impact of digital media on human behaviour, seed and map a new interdisciplinary research community on this topic, scope for a research agenda, and issue recommendations for policy and future digital media design.

This proposal is led by an international consortium with the help of an interdisciplinary Advisory Group (AG) of renowned experts. It proposes a hybrid methodology based on the AG that acts both as catalyst and guide for a collaborative large-scale mapping of the state-of-the-art and challenges of that emerging field. This collective study is mediated by intelligent ICT tools.

During the project, the research community will be invited to give its input on the key challenges that should be supported by the EU in the next five years.

On the basis of this collaborative mapping of state-of-the-art and future challenges, the Advisory group will be in charge to recommendations to the European Commission for future funding schemes in this domain.

The outputs of this project will be a prospective roadmap for the EU and a cartography of the main actors and research areas related to Digital Media and Human Well-Being.
