As a research centre, the Internet Interdisciplinary Institute (IN3) plays home and offers support to the *PhD on the Information and Knowledge Society Programme*, the only PhD offered by the *UOC* (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya). Offered for the first time in 2000, this programme was one of the first PhDs created in this field of research and, indeed, the first to be offered in its entirety over the internet. The links between the different social, economic, political and cultural systems mean that the traditional disciplinary barriers have to be overcome so as to be able to conduct a thorough and in-depth analysis. Thus, this PhD programme is based on an *interdisciplinary perspective* that involves different theoretical standpoints and different methodological tools. The PhD programme for 2009 offers a total of 33 places linked to research groups or researchers on offer. Each of them gives the specific research lines of the PhD theses offered by each research group, the teaching staff in charge, as well as the possible requirements for each place: - Computer Science and Networking Technologies <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/computer_science_i_networking_technologies> - Community and Social Action <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/comunitat_i_accio_social> - Law and ICT <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/dret_i_tic> - eGovernance <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/egovernance> - eLearning <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/elearning> - Information Systems <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/information_systems> - New Economy <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/nova_economia> - Technology and health <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/tecnologia_i_salut> - Technology and Education System <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/tecnologia_i_sistema_educatiu> - Research Programmes <http://in3.uoc.edu/index.php/in3web_eng/doctorat__1/oferta_de_places/programes_de_recerca> - Risk Negotiation research programme.
