The European Media Technology and Everyday Life Network (EMTEL) was
funded by the European Commission under the 5th Framework Programme. It
was constituted as a research and training network within the programme
Improving Knowledge Potential and oriented towards "creating a user
friendly information society". 

EMTEL conducted interdisciplinary social scientific research between
2000 and 2003, about the information society from the perspective of
everyday life.

The final results of the research are now available at
http://www.emtel2.org/ 

Seven reports deal with specific aspects of the everyday life in the
Information Society: 

YOUTH: The Web Generation? The (De)Construction of Users, Morals and
Consumption

Intelligence in Everyday Life: What bends the trend? 

WORK: Boundaries in a Space of Flows. The Case of Migrant Researchers'

POLITICAL ACTIVISM: ICT-Usage among Transnational Social Movements in
the Networked Society: to organise, to mediate & to influence
