The conference will serve as a bridge between the analytical and policy formulation phases of the WWWforEurope project. It seeks to provide an interdisciplinary forum for discussion and assessment of the research progress made so far and to reflect on the development of strategies on the way forward.

The organisers would like to invite researchers, practitioners and activists from around the world to send their papers by the 30th of April, 2013. Doctoral and Master theses are also accepted. A Best Paper Award will be presented to the author of the best paper submitted.

An additional Young Paper Award will be granted to the most excellent work of a young scholar (age 34 or younger). Additionally, the award-winning authors will be presented with the opportunity to get their papers published in the WWWforEurope working paper series.

The winners of the Best Paper Awards will be selected by a scientific committee based on the academic quality and policy relevance of their work. The two winners will be invited to attend the First WWWforEurope Feedback Conference in Vienna on the 18th and 19th of September. Their travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the consortium.

Papers should be sent in a PDF format to wwwforeurope-area6(at)wifo.ac.at. Please state your age in case you qualify for the Young Paper Award.
