Abstract

The increasing complexity of the university, augmented by its commoditization, means that the information about its knowledge management is also more complex, whether we consider obtaining, contextualizing or redirecting it to various users. University rankings, despite the criticism they receive, appear as contextualized information tools for each type of user. The main goals of the creation and implementation of the multidimensional global ranking design and testing project, funded by the European Commission on Education, are described.

Abstract

The future development of the web largely depends on net neutrality, that is, ensuring that all content, sites and platforms are treated equally. This article assesses the origins and motivations that exist in the debate about network neutrality. Then it focuses on the two distinct views regarding net neutrality: the Openists, supporters of an open net without restrictions, on one side and Deregulationists, naturally suspicious of any government regulation, on the other. Finally, this article describes the net neutrality regulatory framework within the European Union.
