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
