[Air-L] 2024 Policy & Internet Conference - Call for Papers

[Nadia Tjahja]

Dear colleagues,

A kind reminder that in one week we will close the call for abstracts for
the Policy & Internet Conference which will be held in Sydney, and online!

This year, the conference seeks to unravel the complexities of Internet
governance and policymaking and to explore diverse pathways towards a
‘good’ future for the Internet for all by looking at, but not limited to
topics such as defining good policy; policy innovation and ecosystems; norm
entrepreneurship; processes and mechanisms; policy spaces; and regulatory
expertise.

For more details and to submit your abstract, please check out the website
