WHAT IS LEKTOR?
LEKTOR aims at increasing knowledge on legal issues in eBusiness & sharing this knowledge through on-line tools. In order to achieve this, LEKTOR will develop an interactive platform with Web 2.0 tools for active information exchange on legal issues affecting eBusiness.

Best practice cases from Europe, the USA, India and South America will give examples of how legal issues impact eBusiness. Barriers to eBusiness, within Europe and outside, will be identified and solutions offered. LEKTOR will closely collaborate with similar information services at European and world-wide level.
