The document discusses the SESERV project, which aims to bridge the gap between socio-economic priorities and ICT research objectives in European FP7 projects. The 24-month project has a budget of over 1 million euros. It will bring together socio-economic experts with the Future Internet community. Key work packages will coordinate economic and social Future Internet activities, run workshops, and disseminate information to increase awareness of socio-economic issues related to new Internet architectures.
