World Internet Project

--- CONTENT ---
The World Internet Project (WIP) is a collaborative research program that brings together academic institutions in 46 partner countries to study the social, economic and political impact of digital technology.

Background
The World Internet Project was founded in 1999 by the Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern California Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism (the Center was formerly the UCLA Center for Communication Policy.) The Project was created to study the impact of the Internet and related digital technology in national and international communities.

Based at universities and research institutes, the World Internet Project conducts research, generates publications, and holds annual conferences that explore the impact of these technologies. The World Internet Project studies the views and behavior of internet users and non-users.

Each member institution conducts regular sample surveys of internet use and non-use in its country, including a series of core questions used by all of the partner countries. The critical defining characteristics of this research are that it is longitudinal, enables cross-country comparison, and includes both internet users and non-users.

The World Internet Project creates international and national reports on Internet use and behavior based on its survey results. The Project published its tenth report in November 2019.
