Around 450 participants from 40 countries (the Attendee list is available here.) have participated in the conference organized with the support of PARADISO at the European Commission in Brussels from 7 to 9, 2011, on the theme “Internet and societies: new innovation paths”. The event was supported by several leading institutions and included the 2nd edition of the “PARADISO international conference” (on Sept. 7-8) during which PARADISO recommendations to the European Commission regarding research topics to be addressed in future EU-funded programmes were presented. It also included (on Sept. 9) the 1st “Dialogue on Platforms for collective awareness and action”, a one-day workshop to contribute identifying related multidisciplinary research priorities for the last Call of FP7 and for “FP8″ (Horizon 2020).
