The aim of the session is to have a broad discussion in an open and informal setting.
The session is designed to engage both the online and onsite participants. - icebreaker including short introduction and a round of introductions on research focus and collaboration Sharing ahead of time: 1) Flash presentation of the different projects 2) Promoting the event in the research community as well as in the wider community Use of complementary tools such as the Slido app to facilitate the discussion.
The session aims at gathering researchers and experts working on Internet Governance to identify synergies and build collaborations. We also aim at reflecting on Internet Governance research 2 years away from the 2025 WSIS review in a context of crisis. The Internet Governance and regulation research group (Centre Internet et Société, CNRS) and partner institutions are leading a number of projects related to Internet governance and to digital policy (https://cis.cnrs.fr/gouvernance-et-regulation-dinternet/).
We aim at facilitating an inclusive discussion to foster collaboration between researchers, experts as well as with the broader community. We will be sharing ahead of time both flash presentations of research project and research papers and promote the event in the research community in order to gather papers and interest. We will use additional tools such as the Slido app to facilitate the discussion and involve the participants both onsite and online.
Report
Key takeaways
Internet Governance studies need to include a comparative dimension to allow for collaborative research. Developing a transdisciplinary approach is also of paramount importance from legal studies to computing science.
