The SESERV consortium organised a scientific seminar ‘The Future Internet: The Social Nature of Technical Choices’ at St. Anne’s College,
University of Oxford, UK.
The workshop aimed to bridge the gap between those who study and those who build the Internet by supporting
discussion and debate within the multidisciplinary community of researchers and professionals working on various aspects of the Future
Internet. The main objective of the workshop was to explore and discuss with a community of experts the socio-economic aspects that
affect the Future Internet, and conversely the way that the Future Internet will affect society, government, and business.
who attended the lastest SESERV workshop. All the participants answered the following questions:
1. How do you think your project benefits a broader European drive to increase innovation?
2. What are the main social and economic problems, constraints or barriers that you face when developing your work?
3. Who are the stakeholders of your project? Why are they important for your project?
4. What do you know of the EU Digital Agenda? How is the DA relevant for your project?
5. What mechanism or strategies do you think are needed to foster your work (either from the public sector or from other entities)?
