E-Inclusion
E-inclusion ('e' standing for electronic) aims to ensure that disadvantaged people are not excluded due to their lack of digital literacy or internet access. E-inclusion also means taking new advantages of new opportunities offered by digital and technical services for the inclusion of socially disadvantaged people and less-favoured areas. The Information Society has the potential to distribute knowledge more equally and to offer new job opportunities, by overcoming the traditional barriers to mobility and geographic distance.
 
The Commission uses a number of groups to help drive and inform its e-Inclusion agenda. More>>
