04-11-2004

The Legal Framework for the Information Society (LEFIS) is a Network of Universities, Research Centres, Public Institutions, Associations and Firms which are involved in drafting legislative proposals, carrying out research and development projects, and introducing – in Law Faculties as well as in other high education centres (Management, Public Administration, Information and Communication Technologies and Engineering Schools and Faculties) – graduate and post-graduate studies aimed mainly, but not exclusively, at jurists, covering the wide range of problems which are posed by the regulation and implementation of Information and Communication Technologies Law (ICT Law).
