The 8ºth European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) is to be held in Sofia on 4-5 June 2015. The event is hosted by UNICART and the Ministry of Transport, Information Technology and Communications of the Republic of Bulgaria is the institutional partner of the forum. The overarching theme of this year’s edition is /“Shaping the Internet Together”/.
EuroDIG is an open network to discuss and exchange views on emerging issues and challenges concerning the Internet between all stakeholders including governments, international organisations, the technical and academic community, business and civil society. The results and the messages of its annual events are conveyed to the global UN-led IGF, which this year will take place on 10-13 November 2015 in João Pessoa, Brazil.
/A pre-event/dedicated to stakeholders in South Eastern Europe and the neighbouring area is organized on 3 June 2015 under the theme "/Multistakeholder Internet Governance: from Global Debates to South Eastern European Realities/".
The objective of the pre-event is to create a framework for multistakeholder discussions and exchange of views on Internet-related challenges and emerging issues that are particularly relevant to the region. These include the definition of Internet governance, multistakeholderism, human rights and the Internet, etc. The results of the one day discussions are to be conveyed to the EuroDIG in the form of key messages.
