  • European Internet Seminars: 'Policy Challenges in the
    • Internet Age' Amsterdam Summer University, 28-30 July 1999

    European summerschool brings together range of international experts - Esther Dyson, Kim Veltman, Philip Weinberg, Julf Helsingius, Anna Fielder and many others...

    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.
