5. The first day was dedicated to considering the role of STS in terms of Arts Engagement , particularly trying to find solutions for informing audience awareness, engagement and quality of experiences within the arts sector. This event is co-programmed by the Impacts 08 research team at University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University, funded by the AHRC and Arts Council of England, along with part funding from the Innovative Media for the Digital Economy (IMDE) Research Cluster and FACT.
6. Tuesday 17th, will be dedicated to considering the role of STSs / Social Media in Healthy Environments .We will discuss a range of issues arising from the medicalization of cyberspace, the use of mobile devices in health care, the use of social gaming technologies, such as Second Life and the rise of medical self-surveillance technology such as Google Health. In short, the key question that will interest us is how can we develop engaging social media to diminish the economic burden of health care, without failing to attend to the most important needs of patients, carers and casual users of healthcare technology. An integral part of this will be to identify innovative methodologies that draw on the original knowledge developed within artist and design organizations to work more closely with social scientists and information techologists.

This is different for arts. While very sophisticated applications exist for other CIs, such as film, the arts sector has no unifying environment Initial work should focus on sophisticated local arts infrastructure to assess need and opportunity
