David Murakami Wood and William Webster have just received news that their bid for a new pan-European network, 'Living in Surveillance Societies' (LiSS) has been successful.
Funded by the European Science Foundation, the network will run for 5 years, supporting meetings, conferences and some research visits across the whole of Europe (not just the EU), particularly focusing on developing Early Career Researchers. In the initial bid, 80 researchers from 22 countries across Europe were involved, however this could expand still further. One of LiSS's goals will of of course aim to link up and synergise with NewT, and with the Surveillance Studies Network. This is an exciting time for Surveillance Studies!
