The Media Change & Innovation Division has recently joined the World Internet Project (WIP) as Swiss country partner. The international consortium is chaired by Prof. Jeff Cole, USC Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future, and  consists of 26 national teams which regularly conduct surveys on Internet usage and its multifaceted  impact. This long-term longitudinal study provides national and international comparative results on Internet developments. The findings of the first Swiss WIP survey, which is supported by the Information Society Coordination Office of the Swiss Federal Office of Communication (Bakom) and the Dean’s Office, Faculty of Arts of the University of Zurich, will be presented in late fall of 2011.
