For 20 years, .eu has reflected Europe’s shared digital ambition. This opening pre-event looks back and forward at how strong partnerships have shaped and will continue to shape a trusted, resilient, and inclusive European online space.
Session description
The session will be highlighting the power of partnerships at the heart of Europe’s internet governance model. It will begin with a short retrospective from the European Commission on the origins of the .eu project, its role in the Digital Single Market, and its strategic outlook for the future, followed by reflections from EURid. The session will then give the floor to key partners - including UNESCO, ICANN, EUIPO, and the registrar community - to reflect on the value of collaboration and the multistakeholder approach in strengthening Europe’s digital presence and resilience.
Format
The session combines brief keynote reflections with a moderated sequence of short interventions.
