FUNDERS

As researchers we are committed to research autonomy and transparency in our relationships. These traits are essential to our credibility. We do not accept grants that limit our ability to carry out research in the way we see fit. We follow best practices in reporting conflicts of interest (example). In the past we have received funding from:

  • US National Science Foundation
  • Economic and Social Research Council (UK)
  • European Commission
  • Social Science Research Council
  • Microsoft Research
  • IBM
  • Intel
  • MacArthur Foundation
  • Higher Education Funding Council of England
  • The Internet Society

We thank all of our kind partners and collaborators.
