Sessions
Participants will learn about the findings of a new research conducted by SMEX with Internet Society’s support on the impacts of internet shutdowns during exams on the open internet, the economy and society in the Arab region. They will also come together to contribute ideas and strategies to end the practice of internet shutdowns with the purpose of continuing these efforts to launch a collaborative campaign in 2023.
This session will showcase research and cooperation opportunities available with Internet Society's Pulse platform. The platform consolidates trusted Internet measurement data from various sources into a single platform. We use the data to examine Internet trends and tell data-driven stories so that policymakers, researchers, journalists, network operators, civil society groups and others can better understand the health, availability and evolution of the Internet.
