As a centre of expertise for media audiences and practices, iMinds-MICT wants to share its know-how with all stakeholders in the Flemish media and Internet ecosystem. We seek to provide an overview of recent academic research in Flemish media and ICT consumption, and link insights into transforming audiences and practices to current challenges for the Flemish media and ICT industries. It combines results from original user-driven innovation research with conclusions from international studies and technology trends reports.
