The upcoming European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) will take place in Strasbourg, France, from 12 to 14 May. Under the overarching theme ‘Safeguarding human rights by balancing regulation and innovation’, representatives of politics, private sector, civil society, academia and technical community will come together to discuss current developments and network. The hybrid event is being hosted by the Council of Europe in cooperation with the Luxembourg Presidency. Registration for participation is still possible until 6 May.
Partners from the aforementioned sectors have been working together for weeks to prepare the programme for this year's event in a cooperative process. The programme consists of twelve preparatory sessions on Monday morning, joint plenary sessions, five main topics, ten workshops and eight short contributions (flashes). The complete EuroDIG programme can be viewed in a wiki. Requests to speak and give short interventions for the main topics can be submitted via a form until 5 May.
