> Dear Madam/Sir,
> Information- and Communication Technologies are changing society  
> and the everyday life. ICT policy and industry often assume that  
> this development will provide important opportunities to increase  
> quality of life and especially social relationships. The EU
> project SOCQUIT (Social Capital, Quality of Life and IST) analyses  
> the effects of ICT on social capital and quality of life.

> On behalf of the SOCQUIT consortium and France Télécom R&D I am  
> very happy to invite you to register for the conference "Social  
> Capital and Quality of Life in the Information Society", 29 and 30  
> September 2005 in Paris where the SOCQUIT results will be presented.
