Overview

The FLEET-project includes *21 researchers* from *three Flemish universities* (Vrije Universiteit Brussel, K.U.Leuven, UGent) and *two Dutch research centres* (TNO-ICT and Infonomics-EC/DC). In total, nine research departments participate in the project: the centre for Studies on Media, Information and Telecommunication (SMIT), the Centre for Studies on Media and Culture (CEMESO), the Money and Finance Research Group (MOFI-ECON), the interdisciplinary Research Group on Law Science Technology and Society (LSTS), the Interdisciplinary Centre for Law & Information Technology (ICRI), the centre of Usability Research (CUO), the research centre Media and ICT (MICT), The European Centre for Digital Communication (EC/DC) and The Netherlands organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). The project brings together members of academia ranging from communication sciences (SMIT, MICT and CUO), sociology (CEMESO) and law (ICRI, LSTS) to economics (MOFI-ECON, Infonomics-EC/DC, TNO-ICT) and hence establishes an apparent *interdisciplinary approach*, which includes social, legal and economic expertise on technical disciplines.
