World Internet Project – Switzerland (WIP-CH)

The Media Change & Innovation Division is the Swiss country partner of the World Internet Project (WIP).  This  international, collaborative project is looking at the social, political and economic impact of the Internet and other new technologies. The 1999 started project is chaired by Prof. Jeff Cole from the Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future, University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles. The consortium includes more than 25 partners in countries and regions all over the world. The WIP conducts detailed, international comparative longitudinal studies on the use and impact of the Internet, publishes national and international reports and holds annual conferences. The first representative Swiss WIP survey (computer-assisted telephone interviews) is supported by the Information Society Coordination Office of the Swiss Federal Office of Communication (Bakom) and the Dean’s Office of the  Faculty of Arts, University of Zurich.

First findings were presented on 29. November 2011. For further information please visit the news section of our web page or refer to the WIP-CH flyer.
