> During the last 10 years, the world has focused on social media and the
> new forms of societal behaviour, including content generation,
> collaboration and sharing as well as network organisation. These
> behaviours and expectations, in particular transparency and access to
> data, new ways of interacting with government and democratic institutions
> will continue to develop, and profound changes in society are to be
> expected. Society has been confronted with  Open Government, Open
> Data and Open Access. What have the experiences been so far? How do these
> impact society, democratic structures and organisations? What changes
> occur at citizen level? What are the implications for democracy, society,
> science and business?
