Overview

For the Open Internet Initiative, the aim is to evolve the web toward openness and empathy by building transparent, interoperable tools that benefit researchers, developers, and everyday users. This project centers on open standards, inclusive design, and governance that keeps people at the core of technology. The goal is a sustainable, collaborative internet where knowledge isn’t locked behind walls and where diverse voices shape the next wave of innovation.
