Web Science Institute Lunchtime Seminar

The Web Science Institute at the University of Southampton was launched in November 2013 to investigate how the World Wide Web is changing the world and the world is changing the Web.The Web is the largest information system ever constructed. It is a social and technical phenomenon that has transformed the world and continues to do so in innovative and unexpected ways that will shape our future. We can’t predict how the Web will change our society, but Southampton has taken a lead in developing new forms of economic, social, political, technological and cultural resources based on a deep understanding of the Web's technologies and social construction.The Web Science Institute (WSI) acts as a focal point, co-ordinating and putting into practice education, research and enterprise initiatives on web-related developments at the University of Southampton. Its aim is to secure a sustainable future for inter-disciplinary research across the University that has Web Science at its core.
