[ecrea] EuroCPR - 25-27 March 2012

*EUROCPR 2012** "**Policies for the future Internet" *


*SAVE THE DATE: **25, 26 and 27 March 2012*
Het Pand, Ghent (Belgium)


EuroCPR was founded in the 1980s by leading academics, studying 
communications, media and telecommunications policies. *The conference's 
aim* is to bring together scholars, sector representatives and policy 
makers to collaborate and provide an independent forum for debate on 
topical policy issues.

*The theme of the 2012 Conference will be "Policies for the future 
Internet". *The Internet is a fundamental part of society and of 
Europe’s and other regions’ economies. Whereas the Internet remained 
largely untouched by extensive public policies until the end of the 
1990s (in comparison to telecommunications and mass media policies), 
several policies for the future Internet are emerging.

We invite scholars to critically reflect on the lessons learned over the 
last 10 years, and to contribute constructively to ongoing debates about 
policy and regulation for the future Internet.

The full *call for papers* and *more information* about the conference 
*will* *soon be available* on our website  (www.eurocpr.org 
<http://www.eurocpr.org/>)

With kind regards,

The organization committee
