Within media policy we are in particular looking for research on the regulatory implications of digital technology. We welcome research proposals on single media, media structure, or regulatory challenges regarding digital infrastructure of distribution, e.g. the Internet.

The proposed project may be limited to Norway, but both areas are open for studies of international conditions and/or comparative studies.
