THE ASSEMBLY FORUM is a discussion forum for senior leadership from internet platforms, the government (including the U.S.
These tracks build on existing work, including three programs at the Center formerly known as the Berklett Cybersecurity project, Techtopia, and the Assembly program, a joint initiative previously run with the MIT Media Lab. The three tracks are designed to bring together cohorts of experts, professionals, and students to better understand, and actively address, complex issues of disinformation. The program is organized around three tracks: the Assembly Forum, the Assembly Student Fellowship, and the Assembly Fellowship. Assembly explores disinformation in the digital public sphere from a range of perspectives, addressing the challenges and opportunities of public and private sector responses to disinformation and related problems, including within cybersecurity, platforms and internet governance, public health, politics, elections, democracy, and public discourse.Īssembly brings together innovative approaches to cross-sectoral collaborations focused on the public interest and thoughtful interdisciplinary programming, with the Berkman Klein Center's history as a convener and long view on the problems and promise of the internet.
The Berkman Klein Center launched Assembly: Disinformation in the fall of 2019 and will continue and expand this work in the 2020-2021 academic year. Some of the information on this site may be out of date, as it is not updated regularly. The three year Institute will build on the ideas, models, and networks that came out of the Assembly program and continue to bring together participants from across sectors and disciplines to develop prototypes and provocations in the public interest. After five years of Assembly, we are wrapping the current iteration of the program and transitioning to a new initiative at the Berkman Klein Center: the Institute for Rebooting Social Media.
