The third summer school organized by the project EINS, the FP7 Network of Excellence in Internet Science,
was entitled "From Smart Cities to Engaged Citizens". The goal of EINS was to coordinate and
integrate current research initiatives aimed at achieving a deeper multidisciplinary
understanding of the development of the Internet as a societal and technological artefact,
whose evolution is increasingly intertwined with that of human societies.
Its main objective is to allow an open and productive dialogue between all disciplines
that study Internet systems under various technological or humanistic perspectives,
which are being transformed by the continuous advances in Internet functionalities and applications.
