| + | ==Establishing the First Euro-SSIG== |
| + | The need to establish an International academic organization dedicated to providing comprehensive instruction on Internet governance was noted by the academic members of [[WGIG|United Nations' Working Group on Internet Governance]] (WGIG), who were also charged with defining and elaborating the terms 'Internet Governance'. In June, 2006, a meeting was held in Rathen, Germany, which was prepared and coordinated by an ad hoc working group made up of the [[IAMCR|International Association of Media and Communication Research]] (IAMCR), [[ICA|International Communication Association]] (ICA) and UNESCO. The result of the meeting was the establishment of the [[GIGANET|Global Internet Governance Academic Network]] (GIGANET) and Euro-SSIG. In July, 2007, the first courses were held in Meissen, Germany.<ref>[http://www.euro-ssig.eu/ Background]</ref> |

| + | The Euro-SSIG 2011 was held on July 2011. Thirty participants were chosen out of 133 applicants from 54 countries all over the world. There were 28 faculty members who shared their expertise on Internet governance from different international organizations including [[WSIS]], [[WGIG]], IGF, [[EURODIG]], ICANN etc. According to Wolfgang Kleinwächter, "Internet governance is not yet an established academic discipline you can study at a university´s faculty. It is a multidisciplinary issue which crosses law, business, history, political, social and cultural science, informatics and mathematics and it has a very practical component. This special kind of knowledge is needed by a broad range of various constituencies working in the Internet world. With EuroSSIG we provide a high level space for learning in a multistakeholder environment where we enable fellows to become leaders of Internet Governance of tomorrow." <ref> |
