Socio-Economic Research (SER) Activities

There is a strong interplay between technological research on one hand and economic, policy, legal and social research on eBusiness and eWork. The range of SER activities in KAII, through more than 40 running projects, covers key research areas in economic and business developments, organisational change, societal arrangements, market creation and development, technological innovation and policy and regulations. A list of project summaries is available (DOC).

Work in these areas supports and interacts with the technological work carried out in the more than 300 projects of KAII.

A number of clustering and networking events have taken place which help to consolidate the SER activities in KA2:
