E-CLIC Borås
Key focus areas are:
- Impact evaluation research, including scenario design and consequence analysis.
- Co-design research, including all stakeholders in design and redesign of e-services.
- Pioneering partnerships, including student participation.
- Theory development, including implementation and regional development strategies.
E-CLIC Borås will bridge the gap between technical and non-technical aspects of cyber infrastructure. Research has shown that the adoption and use of information and communications technology (ICT) is strongly influenced by social and organizational practices. This is also true for cyber infrastructure, where non-technical issues will determine its practical effectiveness.
