4th EIFFEL Think Tank meeting

WHEN: 9 - 10 March 2010
WHERE: Brussels, Belgium

Date: October 6 - 7, 2009
Venue: The Margi Hotel, Athens, Greece

Background

The EIFFEL project is mobilizing researchers and experts in Europe and beyond to debate and confront ideas and positions on the future of the Internet and its (r)evolution towards the development of the Future Networked Society.

For this purpose, the EIFFEL project is setting up a pan-European discussion forum and technical think tank on enabling conflict-free, talented and scientifically oriented discussions around the future of the Internet.

The 3rd think tank meeting continues the threads of the previous meetings, focussing on honing into debates on research disagreements.

Format

The format of this event continues the debate on disagreements that was initiated during the second TT meeting in London. Concrete disagreements will be chosen, presented with opposing viewpoints and deeper discussed in break-out groups. The discussions will be summarized in a separate report but also document on the http://fipedia.org site, providing direct input into this growing discussion site. A more precise agenda with the chosen list of disagreements will be posted in due course.

Participation by invitation

Participation in Eiffel Think Tank meetings is by invitation only. The participants are selected through the recognition of the contribution they are making to the development of the future networked society and their active role in any of the relevant research communities.
