Chapter 1 - Setting the scene: Literature review regarding ICT for IEM in the European Union

The purpose of this chapter is to set the scene for the thematic network by shedding light on what is currently known regarding relations between ICT and IEM. The literature review has been twofold. On the one hand, it presents knowledge regarding the “demand side”, understood as the uptake, use and appropriation of ICT by IEM inside the EU. On the other, it presents previous research regarding the “supply side”, defined as the provision of ICT services and ICT-driven initiatives aimed at fostering and enabling the socio-economic integration and participation of IEM. This literature review is the result of desktop research, a review of previous studies and research in the field of ICT for IEM, as well as the knowledge exchanged and shared among partners of Bridge-IT.
