This is a nice format, more roundtables than paper presentations, highly
interactive. The Paris workshop last year was quite interesting.

Second International Workshop on
Global Internet Governance: An Interdisciplinary Research Field in
Construction
Organized by GigaNet, in cooperation with ECREA IIC, CD and CLP Sections
Brussels, Belgium — 11 May 2009

Preliminary Announcement and Call for Contributions

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) invites you
to participate in a scholarly workshop to be held in Brussels,
Belgium, on 11 May 2009. This full day workshop is organized in
cooperation with three thematic sections of the European
Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA):
International and Intercultural Communication (IIC), Communication
and Democracy (CD), Communication, Law and Policy (CLP) sections.

Building on the success of its first edition in Paris, France, in
June 2008, the purpose of this workshop is the presentation and
discussion of work-in-progress in Internet Governance-related
research with the aim to identify emerging research themes and design
a research agenda. We are interested in exchanging information and
ideas about national and regional projects and networks currently
pursuing research on global Internet governance, but also in
identifying academic syllabi or other education programs dedicated to
these issues, in order to share ideas and forge possible
collaborations. Scholars from various academic disciplines and all
regions of the world are welcome to contribute to this reflexive
exercise, with the long-term objective of collectively building this
interdisciplinary research field.

Rather than featuring academic paper presentations, the workshop aims
at providing a survey of current academic activities in the field of
global Internet governance. Submissions may address, but are not
limited to, the following topics: involved actors and their
interactions; Internet governance institutions and regimes; legal,
socio-economical, behavioral and technical regulation means; Internet
governance policy issues.

Submissions should be sent by 20 March 2009 to Meryem Marzouki
(Meryem.Marzouki at lip6.fr). They should include the name, affiliation,
e-mail address and short bio of author(s), along with no more than
500 words of research work description. The program committee will
notify applicants by 15 April 2009. To encourage knowledge
dissemination, all relevant submissions will be published on the
workshop website. Authors of selected submissions will participate at
the workshop panel discussions.
