Please explain why you are interested to participate at the Euro-SSIG: In the recent times I took an interest in the issues of Internet Governance. Currently my experience comprises several publications and round tables. Namely, in 2015 I participated in the training course "Internet and human rights for policy makers" (Joint programme between the EU and the CoE) and in 2016 under the contract with the Council of Europe Office in Ukraine I participated in the training course as a CoE Consultant sharing ideas about International Institutional Aspects of Internet Governance (including on EuroSSIG) with Ukrainian policy officials. These days I am working on the publication for the conference on political and legal issues of cyberspace (organized by the Ukrainian Association of International Law). Moreover, I participate in discussions of Internet Society through on-line fora. Being supported by the CoU and my alma-mater I would like to receive practical knowledge and innovative ideas on Internet Governance which would be of the significant importance for me as a young expert in the given field. I would be extremely thankful to become a part of the team interested in promoting effective Internet Governance.
