The BIK Knowledge hub is a central access point for information, evidence, and policy insights on the impact of digital transformation on the lives of children and young people in the EU and beyond.
Since its launch in October 2024, the Knowledge hub has continued to evolve, with new resources and an expanded scope designed to provide policymakers and other professionals working in the BIK ecosystem with an increasingly comprehensive source of information.
So, what is new? Let’s take a closer look.
At the centre of the Knowledge hub is the BIK Policy monitor, which provides an annual comparative overview of the implementation of the European strategy for a Better Internet for Kids (BIK+) across all EU Member States, Iceland and Norway. The Knowledge hub also includes the Knowledge hub insight article series, which draws on research, policy developments and other evidence to explore emerging trends and challenges affecting children and young people in the digital environment.
A further key component of the Knowledge hub is its three searchable directories. The Rules and guidelines directory brings together relevant official policies, strategies, guidelines and other policy instruments supporting the implementation of the BIK+ strategy. It provides users with a searchable overview of policy approaches and developments across Europe and beyond.
The Research and reports directory gathers research and evidence related to children and young people’s experiences in the digital environment and the implementation of the BIK+ strategy. It provides an accessible starting point for users looking for evidence to inform policy and practice.
The newest addition is the Stakeholder policy contributions directory. It brings together relevant policy and advocacy contributions from civil society, research organisations and other stakeholders active in the BIK ecosystem. By presenting these materials separately from official policy instruments and research evidence, the directory gives visibility to stakeholder perspectives and proposals while making their distinct nature clear.
Another important development is the expansion of the directories to include relevant international material. Users can now identify entries with international geographical coverage, including selected policy instruments, research and stakeholder contributions that extend beyond individual national or EU contexts. This broadens the scope of the Knowledge hub and reflects the fact that many of the issues shaping children’s digital lives are increasingly being addressed through international policy frameworks, research and stakeholder initiatives.
Together, these new developments aim to further strengthen the Knowledge hub as a central access point for evidence, policy instruments and stakeholder perspectives relevant to the BIK+ ecosystem. By bringing together national, European and international material across three clearly differentiated directories, the Knowledge hub provides users with a more complete and searchable picture of the policies, evidence and debates shaping children and young people’s digital lives, and supports informed policy development and practice.
