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:
