Fifth GigaNet Annual Symposium
Vilnius, 13 September 2010

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) is a scholarly
community which aims: (i) to promote the development of Internet Governance
as a recognized interdisciplinary field of study and (ii) to facilitate the
informed dialogue on policy and issues in a multistakeholder approach.

In order to fulfills its goals, since 2006, it has been organizing a
collective premier research event, the GigaNet Annual Symposium at
the Internet Governance Forum meetings, which is an opportunity to showcase
some of the best current research on Internet Governance from around the
world and provides a venue for scholars to discuss and debate these crucial
issues.

Prior successful symposia in Greece (2006), Brazil (2007), India (2008) and
Egypt (2009) lead us to the Fifth GigaNet Symposium to be held in Vilnius,
Lithuania, on September 13th, 2010 - one day before the IGF official
opening, at LITEXPO.  
 
We will offer Remote Participation options for the Symposium.  
 
Registration is free of charge. If you are planning to attend or remotely
