This is an opportunity for scholars with a research interest in Internet policy to explore research aspects of the auIGF’s agenda and other Internet policy issues. We are currently seeking submissions on the broad theme of Internet policy research and particularly welcome contributions which look at Internet policy topics in Australia and the broader Asia Pacific region. Accordingly, authors are invited to submit abstracts on a broad spectrum of Internet policy topics that include, but are not restricted to: · Intellectual property and the Internet · The Internet economy · Data retention, surveillance and privacy · Internet governance, domain names · Net neutrality · Digital society · Digital inclusion *Emerging Scholars stream* The first day of the workshop will be an opportunity for emerging scholars (PhD candidates and recent doctoral graduates) to present a paper on their current research on Internet policy themes, and receive feedback on their work from a discussant. Emerging scholars will also have the opportunity to engage with senior academics and other emerging scholars in a relaxed and supportive environment. We encourage academic researchers from all relevant disciplines to send proposals of no more than 500 words and a short bio statement to Dr Angela Daly (acd...@swin.edu.au) by Friday 5th June. If applicants wish to be considered for the Emerging Scholars stream, please state this clearly. Please note that papers for the Emerging scholars stream will be due on Friday 18th September. We intend to publish selected papers from both days in a special edition of a highly ranked peer-reviewed journal.
