Goals / Remit
The Nexa Center for Internet & Society is an independent research center that focuses on interdisciplinary analyses of the internet and its impact on society. Its goals are to further the understanding of the Internet, identifying its limits and potential with a view to the public interest. The Nexa Center provides consulting and document production activities and organizes conferences and events, looking for the best ways to make the most of the internet in order to ensure economic, scientific-technical, cultural and political development for years to come.
Main EU files targeted
At the moment, the Nexa Center is not following any specific EU legislative file, although copyright reform, Internet rights, and data protection related norms are always within our area of interest.

Complementary Information
The three co-directors, the director of research and policy and a couple of other members of the staff may be involved in activities which are within the area of application of the Registry. About 2-6 fellows of the Center (see http://nexa.polito.it/fellows) may be significantly involved in such activities every year.
All these people are involved on a part-time basis and the full time equivalent is arguably in the order of 1 or 2 people, depending on the year.Person in charge of EU relations

Affiliation
The Nexa Center cooperates with international partners for the development of joint interdisciplinary research projects and initiatives.
The Nexa Center has bilateral collaboration agreements with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and with the Internet & Society Lab at Keio University. Below is an overview of the partnerships in broader networks.
- Network of Interdisciplinary Internet & Society Research Centers
From December 2012 the Nexa Center is part of the global Network of Internet & Society Centers (NoC), a collaborative initiative among academic institutions with a focus on interdisciplinary research on the development, social impact, policy implications, and legal issues concerning the Internet. This collective aims to increase interoperability between participating centers in order to stimulate the creation of new cross-national, cross-disciplinary conversation, debate, teaching, learning, and engagement regarding the most pressing questions around new technologies, social change, and related policy and regulatory developments. Together with seven international co-hosts, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society launched NoC at an international Symposium on Internet-Driven Developments: Structural Changes and Tipping Points (SCTP), which took place on December 6-8, 2012.

- Global Network Initiative
In March 2013 the Global Network Initiative (GNI) welcomed new participant the Nexa Center for Internet & Society. GNI is a non-governmental organization with the dual goals of preventing Internet censorship by authoritarian governments and protecting the Internet privacy rights of individuals. “We’re pleased to welcome GNI’s first participant from Italy", says GNI Executive Director Susan Morgan. “The Nexa Center is a critical source of interdisciplinary research, informed by expertise in technology, law, and economics, on Internet policy from a European perspective". Colin Maclay, GNI Board Member and Managing Director of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University said: "Since its founding, the Nexa Center's leadership by example—within Italy and across Europe—has proven the power of thoughtfully blending rigorous interdisciplinary research with sustained public engagement. Their collaborative approach to taking on many of the most pressing policy issues of our time is especially timely given GNI's increasing engagement with European companies, and I am simply thrilled to have them aboard.”
