§ What new digital literacies and coping skills are they developing?

§ How can parents and policy makers balance online opportunities and risks for children?

§ How do children themselves perceive online risk and safety issues?

§ Why do risks differ from country to country, and what new risks are emerging?

§ How can governments, educators, NGOs and industry better support children online?



EU Kids Online survey results



The conference will showcase final results and recommendations regarding online activities, risks and safety, based on a survey of 25,000 European children conducted by the EU Kids Online network of more than 100 researchers in 25 countries and funded by the European Commission’s Safer Internet Programme.



Papers will be presented by researchers from over 20 countries in Europe and beyond.

We look forward to welcoming you to LSE to celebrate the end of our project and to debate the future agenda for research and evidence-based policy on children, risk and safety online.
