The PARADISO EU-funded project, which counts the Club of Rome (Italian chapter) as a core partner, invites you to register for the "Internet and Societies: new innovation paths" forward-looking high-level conference organized at the European Commission in Brussels (Charlemagne building), on September 7-9, 2011.

The event is free of charge but early registration (to be made online) is recommended because of limited room capacity at the venue.

The draft agenda of the conference has just been released:

• The event will start on September 7, 2011 at 18:30 with a cocktail reception and a keynote speech.
• Ms Neelie Kroes, VP of the European Commission and European Digital Agenda Commissioner, will open the conference on Sept. 8 at 9:30. Then, keynote speakers from Europe and the rest of the world will share their visions of the foreseeable interactions between Internet and societal developments and of related new innovation paths. PARADISO recommendations on research to be developed under FP8 will be presented as well.
• On Sept. 9, participants are invited to a workshop, during which the event topics will be openly discussed, in order that event conclusions and recommended next steps can be based on contributions from the largest number of stakeholders.
