Introduction
The Network for Teaching Information Society (NETIS) project is funded by the European Commission under the Leonardo da Vinci Program. The project started on the 1st of November, 2006 and after the prolongation of the project in 2008 it lasts for 26 months until the 31st of December, 2008 with the participation of seven prominent, Europe wide recognised organisations (universities and research institutions) from six countries. BUTE-ITTK is the coordinator of the project. Our aim is to increase knowledge and competence of students on Information Society, and also broaden and deepen their understanding on the topic, by introducing a course on Information Society in tertiary education institutions.

Mission Statement
Europe depends on competent and aware people to manage and progress the information society as it develops. NETIS aims to improve the skills and competences of students, teachers, researchers, experts and wider public by developing widely accessible, relevant, innovative and sustainable e-learning course on information society. Through a constructivist approach we use a modular course-design and take advantage of international synergies to produce adaptable, reliable content. By these means NETIS expects to increase the participants’ awareness and reflections on the impact of information society on everyday life.
