The Linnaeus Centre for Research on Learning, Interaction and Mediated Communication in Contemporary Society (LinCS)
LinCS is a national centre of excellence funded by the Swedish Research Council (2006-cont.) and with additional funding from several agencies. The focus of the research is on issues of the relationship between learning and media, in particular how digital technologies and media transform how knowledge and information circulate in society, and the implications of these developments for learning at the individual and collective level. The research projects include studies of learning in educational settings (in various subjects and areas), at work places (hospitals, industry, design etc.), and in virtual environments and communities.
LinCS also runs a national research school (LinCS-DSES), a videolab facility (LinCS-Lab) and participates in a range of international networks in the field of learning and media.
