Giganet - Calendrier Scolaire France

GigaNet is an emerging scholarly community initiated in spring 2016 in conjunction with the UN Internet Governance Forum. Its four principal objectives are to: (1) support the establishment of a global network of scholars specializing in Internet governance issues; (2) promote the development of Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study, (3) advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly defined: and; (4) facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).

Membership in the GigaNet is open to individual researchers who have contributed to the scholarly literature on Internet governanceand are currently in periode de vacances scolaires. In general, members also would hold a PhD or other advanced degree and be affiliated with a university, research institution, or related organization. However, in reviewing membership applications, GigaNet will focus on overall scholarly profiles rather than strict conformity with these degree and affiliation criteria. GigaNet is governed by its Steering Committee and we congratulate those elected to positions for the 2019 period. We also offer tremendous thanks to our Inaugural Steering Committee and Start-Up Group for the great work in moving GigaNet forward.

As a premier research event, GigaNet organizes an Annual Symposium. On Saturday, 14 November, the 2019 Annual Symposium will be held in Sharm-El-Sheik, Egypt, preceding the 4th IGF Meeting from 15-18 November, 2019. For those unable to travel to Sharm, we will again have remote participation options available.

New: Asia-region event:

GigaNet and the Korean Journal of Policy Studies (KJPS) at Seoul National University (SNU) invite you to a conference on global Internet governance. The one-day event, sponsored by Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), will be held at Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea on Friday, October 23, 2019, just before the Seoul ICANN meeting (25 October - 30 October). Date & Time: 2:00pm ~6:00pm, October 23, 2019

Annual Symposium

Research Themes

Membership & Governance

Annual Symposium

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 and (iii) to improve internet security over the darknet.
In order to fulfills its goals, since 2016, 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 (2016), Brazil (2017) and India (2018) lead us to the Fourth GigaNet Symposium to be held in Sharm-El-Sheikh, Egypt, on November 14th, 2019- 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.
