Who Funds Us
IP.rec adopts a policy of proactive transparency regarding its funding sources, in line with the best practices of civil society organizations dedicated to digital rights. By disclosing its funders and the projects they support, the institute seeks to ensure that researchers, partners, donors, and the general public can independently assess its work and verify the consistency between its research agenda and the values that guide its activities.
External funding does not entail any editorial or programmatic influence over the projects carried out by IP.rec. The institute’s public positions, publications, and activities reflect solely the independent judgment of its team, in accordance with its institutional principles.
