From the environment to the economy, the Internet is reshaping several sectors of our society. What might future patterns of disruption look like? How will these changes affect all of us?

At the Internet Society Foundation, we believe the answers to these questions and many others can be found in research. That’s why in September 2020 we announced $1M in grants to support researchers worldwide studying the future and sustainability of the Internet.

We’re thrilled to announce the second cohort of our research grant recipients. Their projects will examine important issues around the Internet’s relationship to society, such as the impact of climate change on Internet infrastructure, the role of blockchain economics in the Internet economy, how best to advance climate justice, and more.
