FIGS aims to educate scientists who can contribute to Future Internet research based on deep technical competence combined with equally deep understanding of the relevant socio-economical issues. Thus, it aims to recruit not only engineers, but also economists, social scientists, behavioural scientists, and designers. An essential goal of the programme is for all students to be able to understand each other’s work and comment critically on it, despite their basic education.
