Gruss, Maren -------------------------------------------- *** New Media, Technology and Everyday Life in Europe *** A European Conference organised by EMTEL The European, Media, Technology and Everyday Life Network London, April 23-26 2003 __Announcement and call for papers__ The Fifth RTD Framework Programme of the EU, Creating a User-friendly Information Society, has as its main objective the realisation of the "benefits of the information society for Europe both by accelerating its emergence and by ensuring that the needs of individuals and enterprises are met". The New Media, Technology and Everyday Life in Europe Conference addresses this agenda directly. It will ask three crucial questions which technology-driven conferences generally fail to address: § What does a user-friendly society mean? § What are the facilitators of, and the obstacles to, its realisation? § What are the consequences for markets and policy making? The Conference builds on and expands a range of research activities funded by the EC 4th and 5th Framework Programme (2000-03), COST networks actions and IST Programmes. It is timely in its situation at the interface between 5th and 6th Framework Programmes. Above all, it draws on the research experience of the EMTEL network (http://www.emtel2.org). The conference is intended as a forum for a high-level encounter between leading European academics in the field of media, new media and society, and more than forty doctoral and post-doctoral researchers (under the age of 36) who will be invited to present their research on the areas and themes covered by the conference. The conference is financed by the EU, under the Improving Human Potential, High-level Scientific Conferences, and will take place in London between 23-26 April 2003.
