The World Internet Project - Cyprus, implemented by the Department of Communication and Internet Studies and funded by the Cyprus University of Technology, is part of the World Internet Project, an international ongoing research program launched in 1999 and directed by the Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern California. The first wave of the survey in Cyprus was conducted in late 2008 and the second in the spring of 2010. The third wave was conducted in the fall of 2012 in both the Greek-Cypriot and the Turkish-Cypriot communities. A similar trans-communal measurement was repeated in the fall of 2014 (fourth wave) and in the fall of 2016 (fifth wave).
