Juan Carlos de Martin & Charles Nesson on Re-thinking the University's Role in Society in the Network Age

Universities are at a historical crossroads, for both structural, long-term processes, as well as for more recent developments, mostly due to political decisions and technology. In this talk Juan Carlos de Martin — coordinator of COMMUNIA, the European Thematic Network on the digital public domain — and Charles Nesson — Founder and Faculty Co-Director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society — attempt to answer the question: How can we best develop the potential of an Internet-enabled University without losing sight of the University's ultimate goals in society?
