[ok-berlin] 1st Berlin Symposium on Internet and Society: Exploring the Digital Future, in Berlin, October 25-28th 2011.

[Daniel Dietrich]

Hallo Leute,

ich möchte euch auf eine Veranstaltung hinweisen:

1st Berlin Symposium on Internet and Society: Exploring the Digital
Future, in Berlin, October 25-28th 2011.

"The symposium consists of three elements:

- The Inauguration on October 25th at the faculty of law at Humboldt
University of Berlin will hold an evening reception and announce the
scientific board and the board of trustees. We are looking forward to
welcome David Drummond, Senior Vice President at Google. Finally, the
directors will announce details about the research approach of the
institute, open the institute space for a public view and launch the
new website.

- The Research Symposium, October 26th and 27th, is a
transdisciplinary academic conference which will bring together
researchers who are committed to work in the area of Internet and
Society. Presentations and workshop discussions follow the leitmotiv
to find the most interesting and prudent research questions and will
thereby help to set the research agenda and facilitate the emergence
of joint projects among internet & society scholars. Different
workshops will address questions about Internet governance, global
constitutionalism, Internet innovation and information- and media-law.
Through these workshops, the symposium will link to already existing
research efforts and partnering projects within Germany and on an
international level.

- The Open Science Forum, on October 28th, provides an innovative
platform for academia and different stakeholders from industry,
politics and various different civil society interest groups to
discuss and work on the real world problems of the information
society. It will give an overview of the academic discussion and open
the conference space for different transdisciplinary working
sessions."

Es wird bestimmt sehr spannend und die inhaltliche Überschneidungen
mit einigen Themen der OKF Community sind offensichtlich. Es ist daher
ein bisschen schade, dass wir uns z.B. auf dem "Open Science Forum"
nicht inhaltlich einbringen. Aber das kann sich ja bei
Folgeveranstaltungen ändern :)
Beste Grüße
Daniel
