MIOS is a research group at the Department of Communication Studies, Faculty of Political and Social Sciences. 

The research activities of MIOS can be categorised into two research strands:

  • Individuals’ use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and other media, and the related risks and opportunities. At the centre of the first research strand are studies on young people’s uses of the internet, mobile phones and digital games.
  • Organisations’ (e.g. companies, social profit organisations and governments) strategic communication through ICT and other media. This includes research on (e-)marketing communication and health communication.

The research activities include policy oriented and fundamental research projects, funded by governmental and scientific agencies. The research group MIOS is also part of several international networks on youngsters and ICT, such as the COST IS0801 action on cyberbullying.
