Collaboration and Ownership
in the Digital Economy Conference
Queens' College, Cambridge
4 - 6 April 2001

The Conference will appeal to everyone concerned with the emerging software
and creative media industries, particularly the intersection between those
industries where new media content is being created and disseminated via
software distribution methods.

It will offer insights also into issues critical to cultural and social
development in Europe as well as globally. The rapid development of the open
content movement has far-reaching consequences for policy makers across many
disciplines particularly in a period of rapid expansion of investment in
e-universities, distributed research laboratories, virtual facilities and
the opening up of broadband networks which will enable high speed
distribution of data and new kinds of media products.
