Policy measures to promote access to information technologies

The aim of the study is to document both the risks and potentials of the rapid growth of the knowledge society and information and communication technologies (ICT). Through comparing approaches across a number of Member States and candidate countries it will identify the key elements necessary to develop a strategic approach to ensuring that the new risks of exclusion resulting from developments in ICT are avoided and the potential for ICT to increase social inclusion are maximised. It will also identify ways in which the development of ICT can be more closely linked with and reinforce the Union's social inclusion process.
