Duration

Description

The International Panel on the Information Environment (IPIE) is an independent global organization dedicated to providing actionable scientific knowledge on threats to our information landscape. Support from the Carnegie Corporation will 1) empower a Scientific Panel on Digital Literacy in Education to develop best practices in transforming high school curriculum to raise information skills and mitigate long term polarization, 2) fund an IPIE Policy Fellowship program of researchers to work on information integrity about human rights, the SDGs, and modern ESG values, and 3) advance work on an Information Integrity Index that can compare, in a global and comparative context, trends in technology diffusion and political polarization. The Panels’ and Fellows’ outputs will put these critical issues in a scientific lens and ensure they are better understood from crosscutting and global perspectives.
