20^th European Summer School on
Internet Governance (EuroSSIG)

Due to our experience with late arrivals, we offer all participants a free early arrival on Saturday 25 July. There will be self-catering and no meals will be provided except for breakfast on Sunday. The free Sunday should be used for preparation and self-study to get in the mood for the EuroSSIG. You can also arrive on Sunday by 18.00 at the latest, when the EuroSSIG will officially open with dinner at 19.00 CEST.
