The Foundation for Information Policy Research is an independent body that studies the interaction between information technology and society. Our goal is to identify technical developments with significant social impact, commission research into public policy alternatives, and promote public understanding and dialogue between technologists and policy-makers in the UK and Europe.

One of the good guys who realise that Laws are being passed that concern technology and wouldn't it be a great idea if the people who were writing those laws be advised by people who actually knew what they are doing
