Scientists are sharing data online to speed the discovery of new medical treatments. Coders are building smartphone apps to prevent gender-based violence and more. Such will be happening in the open at the sprint event— where we will bring in topic experts to deliberate on trending IT issues that relate to the health of the internet.

An attendant should be willing to contribute content wise in building the Global Repository for Internet Studies website (www.grisglobal.org) and participate in the other activities we have lined up.
