The debate quickly focused on the topic of the life span of a network, the main question being: can a network reach its autonomy and survive independently from the founding organizations? Is the network active in its process or responsive?
The speakers explained that there are many kinds of networks, and each kind can bring different answers. They gave many examples such as open source communities like BLENDER, networks created by public impulse like the French ECM network, collaborative networks like RAMI, and transversal networks regrouping individuals from different communities (scientific, artistic, industrial…) like the YASMIN Network
