netidee SCIENCE: Call 6 is on!

This year, the Internet Stiftung, in cooperation with the FWF, is once again supporting an excellent scientific project in the field of Internet research as part of the netidee SCIENCE funding campaign.

The Internet is open, innovative and – in the sense of respectful coexistence – free of boundaries. The projects that are funded within netidee SCIENCE embrace these qualities. Applicable for funding are scientific research projects in Austria that further develop the Internet and enable a more sustainable usage for society – no matter the scientific field nor the perspective on the Internet. In line with the open source principle, all results are made available to the general public for use and further development after completion. All previously funded science projects in the field of (foundational) Internet research can be found here.
