About

The Pan-European dialogue on Internet governance (EuroDIG) is an open platform for informal and inclusive discussions on public policy issues related to Internet Governance (IG).

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).

EuroDIG is supported by a group of institutional partners (in alphabetical order):

• Council or Europe
• European Broadcasting Union (EBU)
• European Commission
• European Regional At-Large Organization (EURALO)
• European Telecommunications Network Operators’ Association (ETNO)
• Federal Office of Communications of Switzerland (OFCOM)
• Geneva Internet Platform
• Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
• Internet Society (ISOC)
• Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC)
• UNESCO, Information for All Programme (IFAP)

The main aim of EuroDIG is to promote the engagement of Europeans in multistakeholder dialogue in order to share their expertise and best practice and, where possible, identify common ground. This enables EuroDIG to pull together national perspectives and to apply and shape European values and views regarding the Internet. It is the place to start and to facilitate a discussion not to finalise it and therefore a decision shaping not a decision making initiative.
