Our Vision In a global networked world, information and communication technologies interact with the most fundamental processes of the society and our everyday life. Information society technologies are used and appropriated in a cultural, social, and historical context. They are used in ways that are meaningful for their users. In a multicultural, diversified and global world, the design of information society technologies, products and policies requires deep understanding of the cultural, social, and historical roots of meaning.		The future is already here. We just have to realise it. Our Scientific Advisory Board To guarantee the success in this demanding new research area, we rely on the support of leading global experts.
