In March 2022, we had the pleasure to welcome in Lausanne more than 30 young, and not so young, researchers from Scotland and Switzerland, together with a few colleagues from England, Luxembourg, Denmark and Finland, for a two-day workshop on Governance by Infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following this first successful collective experience, we made the project of editing a special issue<\/a> on the subject to be published in 2023 by First Monday<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants to the workshop were invited to contribute to a pre-collection of short position papers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The objective was for them to revisit the central arguments of their presentations and\/or provide a working perspective as a starting point for contributions to the First Monday<\/em> special issue.
The topics covered in these short papers reflect the diversity of the workshop contributions and of a few additional colleagues who were not present in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are related by a common concern for the networked digital resources and services that constitute Information infrastructures<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often featured as solutions to the challenges and crises of modern societies, Information infrastructures appear at the same time as a pervasive problem; indispensable and yet disappointing; apparently there and yet difficult to grasp; a never-ending story of socio-technological hopes and unmet promises<\/p>\n\n\n\n
