CITIZEN MEDIA is a collaborative research project which unites leading creative and technology experts from across Europe on research, development and validation of A/V systems to enable multiple non-professional users to co-create networked applications and experiences based on their own user-generated content. In this project new ways are investigated on how to exploit the huge amount of user-generated content in innovative ways to support people in their daily lives and how technology will enable social change to strongly involve users for co-creating networked applications. This work will introduce new concepts that may modify the role of stakeholders in the classical value chain for content delivery.

SINTEFs role in this project is to lead WP1. This WP will focus on the user, user experience, the social innovations aspects, investigating user and community needs, attitudes, preferences and actual behaviour when presented for current and future networked applications and services.

The project consists of 16 partners from different European countries. Alcatel Lucent are coordinator.
