The LINI (Lisbon Internet and Networks Institute) results from the networking of four Portuguese research centres (CIES; ADETTI; MRC; OberCom) that have developed work in the areas of the “Network Society” in Portugal since 2003.
This interdisciplinary network combines the work carried out by more than twenty researchers from ISCTE - University Institute of Lisbon and OberCom, with collaboration from a large number of bodies and individuals in the funding, surveying and documentation tasks involved in the researches.
The original research programme, started in CIES-ISCTE-IUL in 2003, and has since evolved to a joint cooperation and networking between the four institutions. Our research programme has been built around basic research, defined by the different participant institutions and their researchers. The research programme is made up of 4 research areas, all of which try to build extensive international comparative research based on international findings in each field.
