Information is one of the world's most crucial and rapidly changing resources. Rapidly growing capabilities in information, communication and technologies, the increasing importance of information in the professions, in research, and in daily life, the expanding and multidimensional information industry, and the developing information infrastructure have resulted in major new challenges and opportunities.

This Student Council will focus in research, use and management of information and information technology to improve understanding of the effect of information on individuals, institutions, and society. This theme has both a technical component, related to the design and use of information systems and services, and a social sciences element, concerned with understanding how people seek, obtain, evaluate, and use information. This Student Council will use the methodologies of several social sciences and technical disciplines to deal with a core set of information-related issues.
