"Mozilla 24" consists of a variety of programs, including presentations, panel discussions, online contests, and music festivals. Many of the presentations, including the panel discussions, will be accessible online to anyone in the world using the distance learning environment and remotely placed virtual machines provided by the WIDE Project's School on the Internet Working Group (SOI), a research consortium that operates its own IP backbone and the M-Root Server. For example, Keio University and Stanford University will facilitate a distance panel discussion among Dr. Vint Cerf, Dr. Jun Murai and Mitchell Baker, using DVTS high-definition video and advanced data technologies. This panel will mark the inaugural connection between Keio University's Global Studio and that of Stanford University which was established as a part of DMC Research Institute's Global Studio initiative. In addition, Mozilla Europe will present in real-time to audiences at the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok, Thailand, and Keio University in Tokyo, Japan.
