We ask for issues (not for session proposals) of high interest to many stakeholders across Europe. In order to structure the proposals we suggest the following categories:

Access & literacy Development of IG ecosystem Human rights Innovation and economic issues Media & content Security and crime Technical & operational issues Cross cutting / other issues

After the comment period, the consolidated programme for EuroDIG 2022 is now published on the EuroDIG Wiki. This is also the place for the collaborative work of the Session Org Teams to which everyone is invited to subcribe to! The programme is shaped around 4 Focus Areas which are divided into sub topics that are discussed in a plenary style in a big auditorium and complemented by workshops.

Agenda

(as of 31 January 2022) all times CET

You can now become part of any Session Org Team!
In the consolidated programme on the Wiki, each session has a page on which the collaborative session planning will be depicted and where you can access general information’s as well as subscribing to the dedicated mailing list.

By signing up to the mailing list, you become part of the Org Team, thereby you can contribute your ideas and support the session planning. The activities of each Org Team are coordinated by a Focal Point, who gets in touch via the list. It is never too late to contribute, but by already signing up now, you can have valuable impact on the session from the start.

Our slogan is: “Always open, always inclusive and never too late to get involved!”

Session principles

Results and quality of a session depend on inclusive and broad based participation. To maintain transparency and an effective interactive dialogue, we ask everyone to respect the following principles:

• focus on the emerging issues on the European agenda
• avoid duplication or “just more of the same”
• avoid seminar style (not just a series of power point presentations)
• each speaker – 5 min “punchy” statements or provocative questions
• not more than 4 key participants
• including the (remote) audience as much and early as possible
• (Self-) promotion for speaking slots or “speaker placement” – is not appreciated
• stakeholder balance – considering gender, age and geographical balance
• publish all information about your session on the wiki as soon as possible

EuroDIG messages

Messages are compiled for each Focus Area and form the main output of the annual EuroDIG. Find the messages from 2021 here.

Reporters from the Geneva Internet Platform will be assigned to take notes and to formulate the messages that:

1. relate to the particular session and to European Internet governance policy
2. are forward looking and propose goals and activities that can be initiated after EuroDIG (recommendations)
3. popropose goals and activities for policy makers
4. are in rough consensus with the audience

These Messages are agreed at the end of each day by the audience. The Org Team has one more week thereafter to finalise them on our Commenting Plattform.

EuroDIG wiki as the organising tool and archive

The EuroDIG wiki is publicly available and keeps all information and workflows in one place. It is our archive but also collaboration plattform for Org Teams, and increases the inclusiveness and transparency of the EuroDIG process.

Save the date: the next EuroDIG will take place on 20 – 22 June 2022

During the annual EuroDIG event everybody can participate at any stage. Participants from the floor or from remote have equal speaking rights as participant on a panel.

We are planning with full flexibility for a hybrid meeting. A hybrid meeting that puts the remote participants in the centre and onsite participants will be requested to login to the virtual platform (Zoom) as well.

On day zero (20 June) we offer the auditorium and the workshop rooms to organisations to hold their meetings, among many of them are IGF Dynamic Coalitions.

As a plenary room we will have one very big auditorium with capacity for around 500 ppl. where we can keep social distance if this is still needed in June.

For the workshops we have two very small rooms of which one alone would be too small for a session. Therefore, we intend to organise the workshops like a virtual only meeting, where also onsite participants must use their computer in order to join the session. Regardless if they will be meeting in one of these rooms, sitting outside on the terrace or not being present in Trieste at all, the conditions during the workshops will be the same for all.

EuroDIG is held in English but we offer live transcription. Thanks to our donor’s participation is open for all and free of charge. However, our budget is very tight and far from being sustainable. in order to continue our work, we would appreciate voluntary contributions via our donation platform.

Online registration is mandatory and the opening will be announced at this website, via Newsletter as well as over Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

Messages are compiled from each session and form the main output of the annual EuroDIG. The messages are presented to the global Internet Governance Forum that is convened by the United Nations with a view to contributing to global, other regional and national debates on Internet governance. Find the messages from 2021 as a reference here.

To agree in consent on the Messages we foresee 30 min at the end of each day for each Focus Area.

Reporters from the Geneva Internet Platform will be assigned to take notes and to formulate the messages for each Focus Area that:

1. relate to the particular session and to European Internet governance policy
2. are forward looking and propose goals and activities that can be initiated after EuroDIG (recommendations)
3. are in rough consensus with the audience

These Messages are finalised after the event by the Org Teams on our Commenting Plattform.
