We are glad to announce that InternetLab is now part of the Global Network of Internet & Society Research Centers (NoC), a collaborative initiative among academic institutions with focus on interdisciplinary research on the development, social impact, policy implications, and legal issues concerning the Internet. The network is composed of several leading organizations in the field, such as the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet & Society, and the DIPLO Foundation.

NoC gathers research centers whose agenda is primarily focused on Internet & Society topics, and aims 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.

Lab’s admission to the NoC is part of our efforts to contribute with other academic institutions, strengthening the importance of the interdisciplinary research on law and technology to the debate about internet policy in Brazil.
