Why the Web Institute exists
The web is the world's most powerful socio-technical construct that affects all areas of human existance. It offers many benefits but also reinforces existing inequalities.
To understand the web and create a more inclusive society, we need a multidisciplinary approach to re-engineer the digital world
At the Web Institute, we explore new ideas and practical solutions for a better web guided by eight research themes in order to:
- Provide evidence-based policy recommendations
- Bridge the digital divide
- Tackle critical questions
- Be a catalyst for positive change.
