September 7-9, 2011: The Italian Chapter of the Club of Rome and Sigma Orionis organized a conference in Brussels.

In a world of accelerating changes, and at a time when economic, social, and environmental risks of breakdowns are in sight, it is of paramount importance to better apprehend how the Internet can impact and transform societies in the next decades but also how it can be even better adapted to tomorrow’s societies, particularly if societal paradigm shifts are envisioned and if a true sustainable future is targeted.

This conference invited all organizations interested in the interactions between the Internet and societies to listen to the visions presented by leading experts from Europe and the rest of the world on challenges and opportunities ahead, and to make their voices heard, thus contributing to the definition of the future priorities of EU-funded research.
