Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet)
A global network for scholars of internet governance
2009 Annual Symposium
Fourth GigaNet Annual Symposium
Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt
14 November 2009
The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet)
is a scholarly community which aims: (i)
to promote the development of Internet Governance as a recognized
interdisciplinary field of study and (ii) to facilitate the
informed dialogue on policy and issues in a multistakeholder
approach.
In order to fulfills its
goals, since 2006, it has been organizing a collective premier
research event, the GigaNet Annual
Symposium at the Internet
Governance Forum meetings, which is an opportunity to showcase some of the
best current research on Internet Governance from around the world
and provides a venue for scholars to discuss and debate these
crucial issues.
Prior successful symposia in Greece (2006),
Brazil (2007) and India (2008) lead us to the Fourth GigaNet
Symposium to be held in Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt, on November 14th,
2009- one day before the IGF official opening, at Maritim Sharm El Sheikh
International Congress Centre (SHICC) - Room Nile Valley.
Also, we
will again offer Remote
Participation options for
the Symposium. Links to the recordings of the remote
participation are below.
