EU Kids Online – Kids on the Internet

EU Kids Online is a multinational research network. It seeks to enhance knowledge and to continuously provide empirical evidence of European children’s and young people’s online experiences and related opportunities and risks. The network uses multiple methods to map children's and parents' experience of the internet, in dialogue with national and European policy stakeholders. This includes large-scale comparative surveys as the 2010 study in 25 European countries and smaller studies with a specific focus on particular questions. In previous years EU Kids Online has been funded by the EC’s Safer Internet / Better Internet for Kids programmes.

The current stage of the project involves a second representative survey on children and online risks and opportunities to expand the evidence on an international level. Data collection will take place between June 2017 and June 2018. The project has introduced an elaborated theoretical framework for research on children’s online experiences and continues to update the EU Kids Online public database.

The Polish team in EU Kids Online IV comprises researchers from Adam Mickiewicz University (Prof. Jacek Pyżalski, Coordinator), Pedagogical University of Cracow and National Information Processing Institute (Interactive Technologies Laboratory).
