Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>We are delighted to officially announce the creation of the Center for
<br>Internet and Society (CIS) of the CNRS.
<br>
<br>CNRS is the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, or the French
<br>National Center for Scientific Research. It is a publicly funded
<br>research organisation, under the authority of the French Ministry of
<br>Research. The CNRS is the largest governmental research organisation in
<br>France and the largest fundamental science agency in Europe. Research at
<br>CNRS covers all the major fields of scientific research, and is
<br>organised into 10 research institutes.
<br>
<br>At the intersection of disciplines such as sociology, law, history,
<br>economics, political science, media and communication sciences, computer
<br>and engineering sciences, the CIS intends to build critical research and
<br>expertise, able to enlighten the major technical controversies and the
<br>definition of contemporary policies related to digital technology, to
<br>the internet, and more broadly to informatics.
<br>
<br>The research themes of the CIS are:
<br>- History of computing, uses, preservation, creativity;
<br>- Information, digital commons, citizen science;
<br>- Infrastructure, AI, platforms;
<br>- Data science;
<br>- State, citizenship, surveillance, profiling, censorship, propaganda,
<br>fake news.
<br>
<br>CIS now has a website, http://cis.cnrs.fr
<br>,
<br>where you can find more
<br>details about its activities. We also have a Twitter account, @cis_cnrs,
<br>which will soon be active!
<br>
<br>We are also working on the construction of a CNRS research network (GDR)
<br>on the same themes, which aims to federate, with a flexible but
<br>structured system, francophone and France-based researchers on these issues.
<br>
<br>Since its inception, CIS is included in several research networks such
<br>as GigaNet
<br>(Global Internet Governance
<br>Academic Network) or RESAW
<br>(Research Infrastructure
<br>for the Study of Archived Web Materials), and of course, the NoC
<br>
<br>(Global Network of the Internet and
<br>Society Research Centers) and its European Hub.
<br>
<br>Kind regards and see you soon, we hope,
<br>
<br>The CIS direction team,
<br>
