[ICTs-and-Society] Uppsala conference report

[Z. Karvalics László]

Dear Collegues,

 

Just for the record, as a part of the landscape:

Other dedicated, systematic social science focused research on Internet and society has been started around 2000 in research institutes, devoted to information society research in Tampere (2001) and Budapest (1998). 

Best

Thanks a lot  for these interesting accounts.

I have a very small correction however. In the opening it is said 

“Internet studies have historically developed in the United States. The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) was the first Internet research centre to be launched in Europe, in 2001.”


This is not quite correct as we initiated a Center for Internet Research in September 2000 at Aarhus University in order “to promote research on the social and cultural functions and meanings of the internet”.

Prior to that we had a series of conferences on internet studies.

The center still exist and you can an overview of its history and  activities at http://cfi.au.dk/ - for the early history: http://cfi.au.dk/news/2000/

Of course the OII have been much more influential, but anyway.

Best regards

Niels Ole Finnemann
