ICT

ICT has a great influence on our daily lives. Among other things, it is changing the way we work, live, maintain social contacts and spend our leisure time.

Diverse studies
The studies carried out by SCP reflect the fact that ICT impinges on virtually all areas of life: ICT and the labour market; ICT and social inequality; Internet use and digital skills of young people and of the elderly. SCP devotes special attention to ICT and culture, for example by researching the interest in digital heritage via the Internet and in the digitised arts. In addition, SCP compiles an inventory of digitisation projects in the Netherlands in the fields of heritage, the arts and broadcasting.

Research at SCP
The Time, Media and Culture research group at SCP is concerned chiefly with the influence of ICT on people's daily lives. You will also find information here on current projects and recent publications. For more information, see also the topics Books & libraries, Cultural heritage and Media.
