Tim Berners-Lee who invented the World Wide Web in 1989, announces the World Wide Web Foundation (”Web Foundation”) as the next phase of fulfilling his original vision: the Web as humanity connected by technology.
The mission of the Foundation is:
- to advance One Web that is free and open,
- to expand the Web’s capability and robustness,
- and to extend the Web’s benefits to all people on the planet.
The Web Foundation will bring together business leaders, technology innovators, academia, government, NGOs, and experts in many fields to tackle challenges that, like the Web, are global in scale. The Web Foundation is in the unique position of being able to learn from the results of projects to accelerate the evolution of the Web. Through collaboration and a better grasp of people’s needs — in particular in underserved areas of the world — the Foundation seeks to improve the Web as a universal communications medium.
The Web Foundation will reach its objectives by funding projects around the world through following strategically integrated programs:
- Web Science and Research
- Web Technology and Practice
- Web for Society
