Executive Summary
Establishing long-term links, i.e. beyond the life-time of the FIDIS NoE, between partners is key to ameliorating the research fragmentation issues both at a fundamental level across disciplines and at the broader level across Europe. The specific aim of the FIDIS Doctoral Consortium is to establish an interdisciplinary network of PhD-students through structured meetings and as such these events are clearly of very high value. The consortium is an important integrative and disseminative part of the Network: It connects students and researchers from the disparate FIDIS domains together, fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and is an important platform for networking. Indeed being a heterogeneous environment, the DC meetings are a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and build a true research network.
The aim of this deliverable was to organise and execute the first annual FIDIS Summer School, an event akin to a formal academic conference. These are designed to tie-in with other closely related events to expand the knowledge base and as a by-product to further publicise the work of FIDIS. This means that, whilst assuring the interests of FIDIS, the event specifically also targeted participation from outside the FIDIS network.
The 2007 event was successfully held on the 6th – 10th August in Karlstad, Sweden, jointly with IFIP (International Federation of Information Processing) Working Groups 9.2 (Computers and Social Accountability), 9.6/11.7 (IT Misuse and the Law) and 11.6 (Identity Management). The aim of the IFIP summer school was to introduce participants to the social implications of Information Technology through the process of informed discussion. Following the holistic approach advocated by the involved IFIP working groups, a diverse group of participants ranging from young doctoral students to leading researchers in the field were encouraged to engage in discussion, dialogue and debate in an informal and supportive setting.
This event proved to be notably successful, with more than 55 delegates from 20 countries actively participating. The proceedings of the event have subsequently been published by the official IFIP publisher Springer Science and Business Media.
