The activities of the ECIR initiative did not generate one single result, rather a set of distinct multidisciplinary findings, jointly contributing to the overarching objectives outlined in the Research Agenda. The project has concluded in year 2015.
The Final Report of the MIT – Harvard University Project on Explorations in Cyber International Relations highlights the major research results, the production of knowledge materials, the development of shared resources, the education of students, researchers, and policy analysts, as well as a range of related outputs. This Report is framed in summary form, with direct reference to the lead researcher(s). All source documents referred to in this Report are available on the ECIR web site. Finally, by necessity this Report captures the most significant, but not all, of the results of ECIR to date. Our purpose here is to be as inclusive as possible, without claiming to be exhaustive. The Appendix presents supporting materials and added information.
