Welcome to Media Lab Europe
Media Lab Europe was the European partner of the MIT Media Lab. It
was based in Dublin, Ireland and operated from July 2000 to January
2005.
On 14 January 2005, the Board of Directors of Media Lab Europe
announced that the company would go into voluntary solvent
liquidation. The decision was taken because its principal
stakeholders, the Irish Government and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), had not reached agreement on a new funding model for
the organization. (Full

This web site contains information about Media Lab Europe as it
appeared at the time of the Lab's closure. Many of the Lab's former
researchers have been continuing their projects and themes
independently or within the context of other organizations. Where
possible, links to current external resources have been included.
