1. Introduction
The European Internet Seminars will take place from 28-30 July within
the framework of the Amsterdam Summer University. These seminars focus
on the development of internet-related policy
in Europe. The European Internet Seminars are aimed at young
researchers, policy makers, media professionals and journalists
from all over the world. The maximum number of participants is 35. The
registration fee is 750 NLG , which includes study material, lunches and
the excursion to Media Plaza. There are still some open places. Press
accreditation and interviews can be arranged on request.
2. Topics to be discussed
The European Internet Seminars will study in depth how new
internet-related policies in Europe are being created. In many cases,
governments and industry will have to work together to achieve the best
results, and form public-private partnerships. In other cases, the
authorities opt for deregulation or industrial self-regulation. The
European Internet Seminars will discuss whether governments react
adequately to societal and industrial demands. What kind of conflicts
arise? Is the international character of the network economy
sufficiently reflected in co-operative fora? Which major flaws can be
detected in European policy development? And where are successes to be
found?
3. Background
The European Internet Seminars are organised by the European Internet
Seminars Association, an initiative of the Dutch branch of the Internet
Society (ISOC) and Van Dusseldorp & Partners, in co-operation with the
Programme in Comparative Media Law and Policy of the University of
Oxford (UK), the Department of Screen Media of the University of Siegen
in Germany, the Institute for Telecommunication and Media Law from the
University of Münster and the International Centre for Social Studies
from the University of Edinburgh. The European Internet seminars are
supported by the European Cultural Foundation, various branches of the
Soros Foundation and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some
bursaries are available for participants from Central and Eastern
Europe, as well as the Mediterranean region.
4. Handbook
The results of the seminars will be published in a book, which will be
available from the European Internet Seminars Association from October
onwards. This handbook will be excellent reading material for students
in new media faculties across Europe, and will provide them with
analyses as well as background data. An annual update of the Handbook
will be produced. The Handbook will be sold against a nominal fee to all
interested parties.
