European communications policy research

A conference on European communications policy research will be held in Venice, Italy, from 21 to 23 March 1999. The conference will be organised by the European Network for Communication and Information Perspectives (ENCIP), and will aim to improve conditions for the widespread use of new information and communications technologies. The overall aim of this series of conferences, which was created in 1986, is to provide a more systematic interaction between academic research, European and national policy-makers, and industrial representatives in the communication sector.

European industry and policy-makers face a range of challenges in managing the transition to an Information Society, and the conference will bring well-grounded theoretical and empirical research to bear upon current policy issues. Topics to be examined during the conference will fall within the following headings:

- Regulatory issues;
- New social and economic patterns;
- Strategic moves and market structures;
- European challenges.
