Thanks to all of you who have so far replied to this - I should just
emphasise that it is not just people in the categories that I listed
that we would like to join - anyone in the EU is welcome - and please
feel free to nominate others who you know are not on this list...
David.

>Dear all,

>Dr William Webster and I have been successful in getting
>through the first stage of the ESF-COST network bidding
>process with a bid on "Living in Surveillance Societies"
>(LiSS). We now have a very good
>(c.33%) chance of receiving funding. This proposal is
>effectively for a European 'network of networks' on the social
>study of surveillance and security bringing together
>representatives from the many different European projects,
>programmes and research networks in these areas, and those who
>remain unconnected - which will hopefully be able to link in
>to other research networks around the world, in particular,
>'The New Transparency' major collaborative research initiative
>in Canada.
>
>There will be four basic work areas within this network:
>1. Living in the Surveillance Age - examining citizens' everyday
>experiences of, and attitudes towards surveillance;
>2. Surveillance, Safety and Security - examining the relationship
>between surveillance and crime and terrorism-prevention;
>3. Surveillance and Commerce - examining the surveillance
>relationships of the state, the private sector and citizens;
>4. Public Policy and the Regulation of Surveillance - examining
>governmental and public policy developments in surveillance.
>
>Some of you may well have been consulted already. In the
>second stage, we need to have a vastly expanded number of
>potenital members. There are particular concerns within this
>programme to:
>
>1. develop a better gender balance (in this case, more female
>participants); 2. encourage 'Earl Stage Researchers' (those
>still within ten years of having been awarded a PhD); 3.
>involve those from the EU accession countries (new and
>potential member states); 4. involve 'peripheral' nations,
>particularly those in the Western Balkans.
>
>We have so far indentified potential representatives from 18
>nations, but no-one from the following:
>
>Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, FYR Macedonia, Iceland, Ireland,
>Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg , Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Sweden,
>Turkey
>
>We would welcome self-nominations or the names of important
>proven or up-and-coming researchers (in or outside
>universities) in the fields of surveillance and security
>studies, especially those that fit into the above categories.
>If your country is not on the list, it may well be that we
>have already listed you, but if you are interested and to make
>sure that you are considered, do contact me!

>Please provide a name, affiliation (and contact e-mail if you
