Information Society: Ethics, Governance and Social Consequences
22-23 May 2006, Namur, Belgium
The deadline for registration to the conference is extended to the 12th May
‘Information Society : Governance, Ethics and Social Consequences’ is a two-day conference that pays tribute to and builds on the work of Professor Jacques Berleur of the University of Namur, Belgium. Two of the key institutions with which Jacques has worked closely over the years, the University of Namur and the International Federation for Information Processing, are joining together to celebrate his commitment to their endeavours in a very dynamic, pro-active, and future-looking way. The purpose of the conference is to dedicate academic reflection on the issues, challenges and problems posed by the Information Society, and also to focus on applied approaches. The Conference intends to bring together actors from institutions, organisations and companies as well as representatives of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) in an animated discussion.
The conference will be structured as follows:
Problematic : Democracy in Question
Which Approaches for Which Ethics ?
The Link between Theory and Practice
