The concept of the metaverse

The Concept Of The Metaverse is of a persistent, immersive, and worldwide 3D digital extended reality. In the metaverse, people can engage in a wide range of activities, from working, seeking entertainment, creating art, to connecting with others, regardless of their physical location. The potential of the metaverse is limited only by the bounds of human imagination and the capability and advances of hardware and programming systems to bring these visions to life.

The purpose of the European Metaverse Research Network (EMRN)

EMRN aims to conduct research that examines the opportunities and potential benefits of the metaverse concept, while also assessing its potential risks and challenges. The network will undertake this ambitious task by leveraging interdisciplinary and independent research, bringing together various perspectives on issues such as the legal implications, economic foundations, and social impact of the metaverse. By conducting responsible research, the EMRN seeks to ensure that the development of the metaverse is guided by a thoughtful and informed approach.

The importance of the type of research envisaged by the EMRN

The importance of research envisaged by the EMRN cannot be underestimated. The idea behind this interdisciplinary network is to enhance the research on the metaverse, to facilitate knowledge sharing and to produce joint publications and decision makers for the whole metaverse sector to learn from. Since the metaverse concept holds both exciting possibilities and difficult challenges, the EMRN must balance its research program to address both aspects. The network aims to play a critical role in conducting research that contributes to the responsible and sustainable development of the metaverse in collaboration with industry partners to ensure knowledge sharing, thereby shaping its future in a positive direction. The EMRN must negotiate its research program in the pendulum that swings from the exciting possibilities that could emerge from this revolutionary technological transformation to the challenges involved.
