[governance] "Internet and Diplomacy" - Discussion & Reception - 12th February at 18.45 (Graduate Institute of International Studies - Geneva)

[Jovan Kurbalija]

Dear colleagues,

 

For all of you who will be in Geneva during the IGF I would like to extend
an invitation to a discussion on Internet and Diplomacy (followed by a
reception) at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva. The
Institute is the oldest international relations institute in the world
(established in 1927). Over the last two years the Institute has undergone
reform, with the main aim of becoming the leading IR/diplomacy institution
in Europe. It has been strengthening its focus on emerging issues in modern
diplomacy (e.g. climate change, health, Internet).

We are particularly honored that Nitin Desai will reflect on his broad
experience both from the IG-process and other multilateral activities. After
Nitin Desai's introduction there will be a short presentation of research
findings from the Institute's course on "Technology and Diplomacy." The
40-minute programme will be completed by a presentation on the Global
Knowledge III conference to be held in Kuala Lumpur (December 2007). The
programme will be followed by a reception which will be a good chance to
meet some of the Institute's professors, researchers and students. We also
expect participation from the Geneva-based diplomatic community. The
Institute is located in the park next to the WTO (15 minutes walk from the
UN). I hope you will be able to join us. 

In order to help us with logistics (seats and reception) please let us know
if you plan to attend the panel/reception at the Institute. Please confirm
by e-mail to yasmeen at diplomacy.edu.

 

Till next week.... with best regards, Jovan
