The sharing economy or collaborative society is a new paradigm that is developing very rapidly, in which the use of a good or service prevails over its ownership. This access-based approach is supported by societal, economic and technological enablers.

A PwC report predicts that five key sharing sectors (P2P finance, online recruitment, P2P hosting, ride-sharing and music/video streaming) have the potential to increase global revenues from USD 15 billion in 2014 to USD 335 billion by 2025.

NADI investigates a range of issues related to this emerging collaborative economy/society, including the technical workings of P2P platforms enabling providers and users to share or exchange goods and services securely and privately; the psychological processes (motivations, attitudes, emotions, etc.) that underlie the adoption of collaborative initiatives; the extent to which technical, informational and social skills are mobilized by users; the legal rules applied to users and platforms in the sharing economy (in particular, consumer protection, labor law and competition law).
