Select Berkman Research Projects

The Berkman Center enjoys a global reputation for cutting-edge work centered on the relationships between the Internet, law, and society. Our mode — entrepreneurial nonprofit — embraces our pursuit of scholarly research in the manner and spirit of an academic think tank, anchored by the diverse collaborative and individual work of our faculty and fellows.

Our efforts are concentrated in three areas of inquiry, united by the question of how the Internet can elicit the best from its users: Law, Technology, Innovation, and Knowledge; The Relationship between Internet and Civic Activity; and Technology, Law, and Development.

2013-2014 Berkman Community

In addition to the Directors and staff, the Berkman Center hosts a community of fellows, faculty associates, and affiliates. The diverse class of fellows will work primarily in Cambridge, MA and will serve as key instigators within the vibrant research community. Honoring the networked ethos central to Berkman, faculty associates and affiliates from institutions the world over will actively collaborate with the Berkman community through an array of channels.

Select Opportunities to Get Involved at Berkman

The success of the Berkman Center's mission rests upon our community, starting with students and building from there. We don’t simply study networks – we consciously and deliberately create them, linking students, faculty, fellows, affiliates, alumni, staff, researchers, funders, other nonprofit and academic organizations, for-profit ventures, government entities, and the public we serve. Some specific opportunities are listed below, and other opportunities are available, too - please feel welcome to approach Berkman staff and fellows if you have interest in their work, and ask if there are any ways to collaborate!

To note, absolutely no formal affiliation with Berkman is necessary for you to engage and be part of the Berkman Center community. Informal collaborations are often the source of our most fruitful relationships.

  • We are currently accepting applications from Harvard students who wish to be a part of the Digital Problem Solving Initiative pilot. Learn more!
  • Through discussions, lectures, conferences, and other gatherings, the Berkman Center convenes diverse groups around a wide range of topics related to the Internet as a social and political space. The unique interactions generated through these events - both as process and product - are fundamental elements of the Berkman Center's modus operandi. Many events are open to the public.
