We are proud of our grantee community! We had an enriching session in Berkeley with the Research program’s US-based grantees. This meeting allowed our grant partners to network, share their experiences, and offer insights to help us enhance our future endeavors. We believe that in-person gatherings are an important tool for nurturing our rapidly growing grantee community. Creating new knowledge through rigorous research is essential to ensure the Internet’s long-term health and produce evidence to shape a more equitable and sustainable future. We thank the University of California, Berkeley for hosting us. Thank you for your active participation and valuable contributions.
