Announcing 2026 Pulse Research Fellows and Mentors

The Internet Society is pleased to announce the fourth cohort of Pulse Research Fellows and the second cohort of Pulse Research Mentors.

Over the next eight months, the fellows and mentors will work with the Internet Society Pulse Research team to develop their proposed research projects.

The Pulse Research Fellowship and Mentorship program allows individuals to bring new perspectives, innovative ideas, and research experience to the Pulse project, improving our understanding and analysis of the availability, evolution, and resilience of the Internet.

Thanks to everyone who applied. We received 190 applications from 51 countries, of which 22 were selected to submit detailed project proposals. All shortlisted projects were of very high quality and relevant to Pulse’s four focuses, which seek to measure and understand Internet shutdowns, Internet enabling technologies, Internet resilience, and market concentration.

Stay tuned for project updates from the fellows via the Pulse Blog and Pulse Newsletter.
