The FLEXCOT project (1998-2000) was supported by the European Commission (DG Research), under the Targeted Socio-Economic Research Programme (TSER) of the Fourth Framework Programme for R&D. The overall objective of the FLEXCOT project is to determine to what extent the new generation of information and communication technologies (ICT) can be used in order to develop new flexible work practices, which would be socially more sustainable than the current ones. Following the preparation of a state of the art of current research, a series of case studies was carried out, focusing on four distinct sectors: printing and publishing, civil engineering, banking and insurance and decentralised health services. Case studies were carried out in six countries (B, DK, F, I, E, UK).
