Introduction to Internet Governance:

TBC

Introduction to European Digital Policies:

During the 1-hour session on European Digital Policies, Dr. Esteve Sanz (Head of Sector Internet Governance and Multistakeholder Dialogue at the European Commission) will briefly introduce the European Union’s digital strategy, with a focus on policies related to Internet Governance. The rest of the time will be devoted to input from the YOUthDIG participants. To enable an interactive session, participants will be asked for a bit of “homework” in advance. They are encouraged to look at some of the Digital EU initiatives and to provide input. A background document and Slido link for input will be provided to participants through e-mail - this should be done by Thursday 27 April 12:00 CEST. Participants are free to decide which of the topics to contribute to. There are four main topics to discuss:

  • The Declaration for the Future of the Internet
  • The Digital Services Act
  • The Digital Markets Act
  • The AI Act

And there are three guiding questions:

  • What is your understanding of this initiative and how do you think it will change the digital landscape?
  • How do you think this initiative will impact your personal life?
  • What do you think is missing in the EU Digital Strategy?
