Scope of the conference
Given the prominence in our lives today of digital online media and technologies, there is a clear need to understand better their impact on us, as users and as citizens. A better scientific understanding is important in developing a next generation of conscious users of digital technologies and digital or screen-mediated forms of communication. We must go beyond the default notion of “Designed in California, made in China, criticised in Europe”! Europe must bring its strong base of scientific knowledge and humanistic values to bear on discussions about the future of online media, and social media in particular.
To this end, this conference will explore how an interdisciplinary collaboration of neurosciences and cognitive sciences, computer science, artificial intelligence and network sciences, social psychology, philosophy, behavioural economics and law, can address the opportunities and challenges presented by digital online media and, specifically, social media and by the ubiquitous presence of digital media and screens in our environments.
A roadmap for a research Agenda on Digital Media and Human Well-Being will be presented at the issue of the conference. It is the out-put of a 18 month collaboration between members of the DIGEING project. A special Challenge Session during the conference will give the opportunity to participants to feed the Roadmap with new propositions. The roadmap will then be delivered to the EU commission to serve as a basis for future EU call for projects.
Arrival of participants : December 5 afternoon
