The Internet & Society Conference is positioned to generate questions,
insight and solutions from diverse perspectives across the landscape of
University, with a focus on the role of University as an institution. We
seek to establish University as a collective force much like
'Government' or 'Private Enterprise' in its ability to negotiate and
compromise for our needs in the digital environment.

We will ask how University should relate to the world of intellectual
property with respect to what we use and what we produce, and how
interconnected the "library" of University should be. We will consider
how the corporate worlds of search and content might thrive by
supporting networked Universities. We will collaboratively take on the
quest for new forms of compatible efficiency to unleash the generative
force of universities in the Net.

Registration is open to all. Please join us in declaring University in
cyberspace.
