Institute for Internet and Society Starts with Four Partners

Hans Bredow Institute will be co-operating Partner

By autumn 2011, three leading academic institutions in Germany, including Humboldt University of Berlin, Berlin University of the Arts and the Social Science Research Center Berlin, and in close collaboration with the Hans Bredow Institute in Hamburg, will establish an Institute for Internet and Society. At the new Institute for Internet and Society, research will be conducted on changes in society caused by the Internet. The new institute will be financed by Google, but is autonomous in its organisation and scientific work. Additional partners and financial supporters are still being sought.

The Institute will bring together leading academics to engage in innovative research focusing on questions of Internet innovation, Internet policy, information and media law and global constitutionalism.
