ICRI research objectives

In performing its research projects, ICRI aims to contribute to the development of a new regulatory framework for the information society, by designing new concepts and principles to underpin regulatory frameworks and by studying constitutional and institutional aspects of the information society.  The traditional legal norms and values that steer human interaction are analysed and critically assessed in the light of technological, socio-cultural and economic developments in the modern information society. Based on this knowledge, ICRI guides the modernization of law making processes and the development of alternative regulatory instruments for the information society.
