The European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) is an open multi-stakeholder platform to exchange views about the Internet and how it is governed. First organised in 2008 by several organisations, government representatives and experts, it fosters dialogue and collaboration with the Internet community on public policy for the Internet. Culminating in an annual conference that takes place in a different European city. EuroDIG ‘Messages’ are prepared and presented to the Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
After consulting with the EuroDIG partners, the community, and the host, the ICTP in Trieste, the date for EuroDIG2021 can be confirmed for June 28-30, 2021. This includes, as is the EuroDIG tradition, a Day 0 in which organisations and initiatives can present their work, and engage with the community, followed by two full days of multi-stakeholder workshops, high-level sessions, and new formats.
The next EuroDIG meeting will be planned as a hybrid format, with both an on-site event in Trieste, and remote participation options. While remote participation has been a longstanding practice at EuroDIG meetings, new ways to enhance the experience can build on the lessons learned in 2020.
The programme of EuroDIG2021 is shaped by you, the EuroDIG community. In an easy online form, you can now submit up to three proposals for issues. Thereby, you can tell us what the most important European Internet policy themes are and what needs to be talked about next year. Just submit your idea(s) on the EuroDIG's website. These are not proposals for sessions, so you do not need to worry about the format or potential speakers at this point. The call for issues is open until December 6.
