The Association of Internet Researchers is the top international association for students and scholars in the field of Internet studies. We are an inclusive community and encourage membership by researchers ranging from cultural studies through social sciences to informatics, and beyond. Founded in 1998, AoIR organises academic conferences which annually bring together the best and brightest researchers and practitioners in Internet research.

Membership in AoIR connects you with our vibrant community of scholars, gives you access to our archive of past conference papers, and enables you to take advantage of discount book and journal discounts. It also supports the ongoing work of the Association. Join now, or register for our next conference (membership of AoIR is included in the registration fee).
