Dear colleagues, The 10th edition of EuroSSIG (http://www.eurossig.eu) was held last week in Meißen, Germany. Started as a response to the conclusion by the UN Working Group on Internet Governance (WGIG) on the lack of academic research and teaching on Internet governance.
Since the inception of the summer school in 2007, RIPE NCC has been contributing both financially and with staff resources in the faculty. Over the years several RIPE NCC staff and RIPE community members have attended the summer school as fellows. With many of the alumni active in Internet governance across the various I* organisations and other stakeholder groups, EuroSSIG has been a successful initiative, which found itself copied in many regions, including the Middle East. We have written up our impressions of the 10th anniversary edition of EuroSSIG in the following two articles: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gergana_petrova/eurossig-a-deep-dive-into-the-world-of-internet-governance https://labs.ripe.net/Members/marco_hogewoning/eurossig-internet-governance-summer-school-a-faculty-members-impressions Should you have any questions about the EuroSSIG or RIPE NCC’s involvement in these activities, please do not hesitate to contact us. Regards, Marco Hogewoning RIPE NCC External Relations
