  • promote the constitution of a social media ecosystem community gathering developers, designers, users, artists, entrepreneurs and researchers;
  • encourage new social media initiatives to pave the way to the next generation of social media platforms for Europe, and to a future global social sphere;
  • organise dedicated events to stimulate the discussion with users, innovators and public authorities.
