Berkman Center announces partnership with the Oxford Internet Institute

Today the Berkman Center and the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) announce a new research and teaching collaboration that will provide many new opportunities for students, fellows, and faculty at both research institutions.  Beginning this coming academic year, students and fellows from each institution will be able to work with each other on a number of common research and teaching endeavors.  The centers will coordinate joint research projects, events, fellowships, and summer internships. 

We're also very happy to announce that the collaboration is  anchored by the election of Assistant Professor Jonathan Zittrain to Oxford's Chair in Internet Governance and Regulation.  Zittrain will be the inaugural holder of the professorship, and will also become the Jack N. and Lillian R. Berkman Visiting Professor for Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School.  Zittrain helped establish the Berkman Center in 1996-97. We are very happy for Jonathan, although we will very much miss his presence at the Berkman Center. 

For more information, please visit Harvard Law School's homepage. If you're interested in getting involved with either the Berkman Center or OII, keep a watch on our homepage. We'll post more information about the partnership in coming months.
