The European Summer School on Internet Governance (EuroSSIG) helps interested students and academics, as well as people working in the private sector or in governments, to better understand the global controversy surrounding Internet governance and to gain comprehensive and structured knowledge about the various aspects of Internet governance.
\nA one-week academic course, held annually at the end of July, covers the political, legal, economic, socio-cultural, and technological dimensions related to Internet governance. The course also includes lectures on the management of critical Internet resources and the development of the domain name market. Following each academic lecture, there will be a Q&A session. Other formats include case presentations, breakout sessions for interactive discussions, and a practicum. A social programme is designed to facilitate networking between faculty and fellows. Participants who successfully complete the summer school will receive a certificate.
\nEach year, the faculty is composed of about 20 experts from different stakeholder groups. It is truly a multi-stakeholder faculty, including representatives from governments, the private sector, civil society and the technical community. The fellows also represent various stakeholder groups from around the world. Fellows are targeted not at undergraduate students, but at individuals who have already started their careers and use the summer school to move into leadership positions.
\nSo far, the concept has worked: more than 500 fellows from around the world have participated in the Meissen School since 2007. Many of them are now involved in national and global Internet governance bodies (including the ICANN and ISOC boards, UN committees and in leading positions in civil society organisations). <\/p>\n
