Children, risk and safety online: Research and policy challenges in comparative perspective

This international conference for researchers, policy makers, industry, educators, NGOs and government will be held on 22-23 September 2011 at LSE, London, UK.

Deadline for abstracts 30.04.11

The conference will ask a series of pressing questions:


 Are all children benefiting from the internet and if not, why not?
 What new digital literacies and coping skills are they developing?
 How can parents and policy makers balance online opportunities and risks for children?
 How do children themselves perceive online risk and safety issues?
 Why do risks differ from country to country, and what new risks are emerging?
 How can governments, educators, NGOs and industry better support children online?
 

The conference will showcase final results and recommendations regarding online activities, risks and safety, based on a survey of 25,000 European children conducted by the EU Kids Online network of more than 100 researchers in 25 countries and funded by the European Commission’s Safer Internet Programme.
