What is the role of CIS in the CIS-RAW programme?
The Centre for Internet and Society sees itself as involved in research in many different ways. We would, of course, be involved in providing critical input, ideas and comments to the original proposals by the different collaborators. We will also, depending upon the individual expertise at CIS, be providing research and intellectual infrastructure required for several projects. However, we do not believe in doing everything ourselves. The role of the enabler is a pivotal one that we see ourselves playing. By giving financial support, establishing networks, and providing physical and intellectual infrastructure, CIS hopes to enable multidisciplinary and unique research that inaugurates the field of Internet and Society in India. CIS also believes in a longer commitment to the CIS-RAW projects beyond the scope of the immediate research. We shall be committed to disseminating the findings and the information contained in each individual project through public media like blogs and newspap
