The role of the committee

摘要

The IIC's mission is 'to explore the implications of new communications technologies though meetings, publications and research'; and as Professor Scannell indicated in a previous issue of Intermedia, 'the goal of the committee will be to share information, identify key issues and organise discussion, rather than commission original research.' I therefore want to explore some ways in which the IIC Research Committee might achieve these aims. This will enable every member to send in their views of what would be most valuable for them personally.
