M-Lab at Pulse Research Week with Internet Society and Giga

From December 8-11, 2025, Measurement Lab (M-Lab) joined the Internet Society Pulse Research Week. On Day 4 Pavlos Sermpezis, M-Lab’s Director, Technical Lead, presented the Internet Quality Barometer prototype at the Giga offices in Barcelona. M-Lab discussed with the audience how IQB could be adapted for education.

During the closing session, Melissa Newcomb, M-Lab’s Senior Program Manager, led a reflection session featuring Georgia Bullen (M-Lab Advisory Committee Chair), Steve Song (Internet Society), and Shilpa Arora (Giga). The panel discussed how to take the knowledge gathering throughout the week and how to apply it to solve challenges in connectivity.

Throughout Pulse Research Week, the M-Lab team learned from diverse stakeholders and experts who are passionate about improving connectivity worldwide. The Internet Society and Giga are critical partners for M-Lab and it was powerful to combine our shared expertise and apply it to the issue of improving connectivity in underserved regions. We look forward to carrying the momentum of last week into 2026!
