SMEs are responsible for the clustering of submissions into a thematic category they have an expertise in. They define subtopics and identify submissions which fall under this subtopic. The aim is to verify submissions which can be merged in one session. In the course of the session organising process SMEs will serve as a mentor for the respective category by supporting all Focal Points.

The Youth Dialogue on Internet Governance (YOUthDIG) is the youth programme of the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG), and features a two-day, pre-event track that prepares youth participants (between the ages of 18-30) for the EuroDIG process. Participants have the opportunity to:

  • Experience peer-learning and networking with youth residing in Europe
  • Learn about Internet governance and the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) process
  • Discuss and exchange ideas with experienced Internet politics practitioners
  • Develop youth messages and present them at EuroDIG and the global UN IGF
