  • Children and the Internet: how protect the underages and teach them how to safely surf on the Web?
  • At the time of citizen-journalist, what are the stakes for the new media?
  • Internet and the intellectual property: which challenges for the traditionnal industries and the payment of the artists?
  • Citizens’ mobilization through the Internet: how the Net users unite their forces on the Web to defend a cause?
