This page provides IICR Network members and other interested people with information about Phase 3 of the IICR research. This phase is taking place from January to March 2026 and focuses on options and choices for action to increase Internet infrastructure and communication resilience. We will update this page with workshop information as it becomes available.

These three Network workshops will build on each other and aim to provide actionable frameworks and suggestions to inform future action on internet resilience in the context of climate change (and beyond).
