Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers

Overview
Launched in 2012, the Global Network of Internet and Society Research Centers is a collaborative initiative among academic institutions with a focus on interdisciplinary research on the development, social impact, policy implications, and legal issues concerning the Internet. This collective aims to increase interoperability between participating centers in order to stimulate the creation of new cross-national, cross-disciplinary conversation, debate, teaching, learning, and engagement regarding the most pressing questions around new technologies, social change, and related policy and regulatory developments.

The network is currently coordinated by the Nexa Center for Internet & Society at Politecnico di Torino (Italy).
