The conference will present research results from the e-Living household panel survey and related research projects on the uptake and usage of Information Society Technologies (ISTs) in Europe and beyond. It will focus on the household context and will discuss issues ranging from trends in ICT take-up through dematerialisation, labour market issues to new forms of work and sociality.

Each presentation will focus on top-line results and implications for public policy and commercial strategy.

Intended Audience
