The principles speak to both policymakers and the academic community. Governments should ensure meaningful data access and protect researchers from legal intimidation. Universities and journals should strengthen legal support, and recognition of data sharing as a core scholarly contribution.

Against this backdrop, we developed the Ascona Principles, a framework for independent research on digital markets and platforms.
We worked on these principles during the Mapping and Governing the Online World conference at Monte Verità in Ascona, Switzerland. Scholars from law, economics, social sciences, and computer science came together to discuss privacy, AI regulation, platform competition, and research access.
The Ascona Principles are an interdisciplinary effort, signed by more than 30 scholars.
If you are interested in the full framework, you can read our Brookings article “6 principles for independent research in a digital world” and learn more at ascona-principles.org.
The outcome was a set of six principles designed to safeguard independent inquiry in the digital age.

Digital platforms shape markets and public debate at a scale that would have been hard to imagine a decade ago. At the same time, independent researchers face obstacles when trying to study them. As a result, much of the digital economy remains difficult to examine from the outside.
