Overview
The Aspen Institute, founded in 1949, is a global nonprofit organization committed to realizing a free, just, and equitable society. Aspen Digital is a relatively new program of the Aspen Institute that empowers policymakers, civic organizations, companies, and the public to be responsible stewards of technology and digital media in the service of a more just and equitable world. This project grant is aligned with the Cyber Initiative’s overall strategy to cultivate a field that develops thoughtful, multidisciplinary solutions to complex cyber challenges by supporting Aspen Digital’s proposal to host two virtual convenings on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) best practices and build widely accessible resources aimed at improving DEI in the cyber policy field.
