The CISPA x LUMS Research Partnership Program on Internet for Everyone
"Bridging the Digital Divide through Interdisciplinary Research"
Despite widespread Internet use, many are still excluded from digital resources. Moreover, the Internet often mirrors physical world inequalities, leaving certain groups marginalized and vulnerable.
CIRCLE aims to address this societal challenge by making the Internet more accessible to marginalized groups.
CIRCLE adopts an interdisciplinary approach, centering humans in all research.
