Information Society Project
The Information Society Project (ISP) at Yale Law School is an intellectual center for the study of a new age in which telecommunications and intellectual property are central determinants of the structure of society, the development of human culture and democratic legitimacy. One of its central projects is the Access to Knowledge Initiative (A2K).  A2K focuses on the “information revolution” and aims to protect access to knowledge both as a basis for sustainable human development and to safeguard human rights.  Access to health information and access to medicine are two key aspects of A2K.
