Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) 2005

The 2005 Summer Doctoral Programme was held in Beijing (7-21 July), with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences kindly acting as hosts. The location allowed us to focus attention on the increasingly multilingual and multicultural character of the Internet and Web, and the growing prominence of Asia, and China in particular. It included visits to government, business and industry sites of relevance to understanding the development of the Internet in China.

SDP2005 was particularly aimed at students who were undertaking empirical or comparative studies, or who were addressing issues of policy or theory with a focus on regional and national difference.
