Our world today would probably appear like a science fiction piece if observed from only twenty years ago &#8211; in many respects magical. Digital technologies have influenced our daily lives and changed how we learn, work, live and love significantly. With the looming rise of the era of artificial intelligence, virtual reality and data ubiquity, it seems evident that significant changes still lie ahead of us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will our digital society look like in the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The European Hub of the <a href=\"https:\/\/networkofcenters.net\/\">Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers (NoC)<\/a> is looking for radical and thought-provoking utopias of digital society. Researcher and thinkers are invited to submit their visions of a digital society along one of the following five themes:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Learn<\/strong>: How will we learn in the future? How will we teach? What will schools and university look like?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Live<\/strong>: How do we stay healthy and what will we eat? what will our homes look like? How will we communicate?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Love<\/strong>: How will we get to know people? How do we stay in touch? What will parenting, relationships and love affairs look like?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Work<\/strong>: How will we work in the future? Where will we work?
