The Centre's activities are aimed at planning and undertaking research into the workings of the media, observing the process of technological innovation, which is becoming an inevitable part of many people's daily lives and a factor of social change, but also brings with it many political and economic risks, as well as carrying out research related to issues of regulation, data trust and network security, and finally promoting research into the social and political processes through which ideas, information and beliefs are created, disseminated and received in different social, political and organisational contexts.
