Second International Workshop on
Global Internet Governance: An Interdisciplinary Research Field in  
Construction
Organized by GigaNet, in cooperation with ECREA IIC, CD and CLP Sections
Brussels, Belgium — 11 May 2009

Preliminary Announcement and Call for Contributions

The Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet) invites you  
to participate in a scholarly workshop to be held in Brussels,  
Belgium, on 11 May 2009. This full day workshop is organized in  
cooperation with three thematic sections of the European  
Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA):  
International and Intercultural Communication (IIC), Communication  
and Democracy (CD), Communication, Law and Policy (CLP) sections.

Building on the success of its first edition in Paris, France, in  
June 2008, the purpose of this workshop is the presentation and  
discussion of work-in-progress in Internet Governance-related  
research with the aim to identify emerging research themes and design  
a research agenda. We are interested in exchanging information and  
ideas about national and regional projects and networks currently  
pursuing research on global Internet governance, but also in  
identifying academic syllabi or other education programs dedicated to  
these issues, in order to share ideas and forge possible  
collaborations. Scholars from various academic disciplines and all  
regions of the world are welcome to contribute to this reflexive  
exercise, with the long-term objective of collectively building this  
interdisciplinary research field.

Rather than featuring academic paper presentations, the workshop aims  
at providing a survey of current academic activities in the field of  
global Internet governance. Submissions may address, but are not  
limited to, the following topics: involved actors and their  
interactions; Internet governance institutions and regimes; legal,  
socio-economical, behavioral and technical regulation means; Internet  
governance policy issues.

Submissions should be sent by 20 March 2009 to Meryem Marzouki  
(Meryem.Marzouki at lip6.fr). They should include the name, affiliation,  
e-mail address and short bio of author(s), along with no more than  
500 words of research work description. The program committee will  
notify applicants by 15 April 2009. To encourage knowledge  
dissemination, all relevant submissions will be published on the  
workshop website. Authors of selected submissions will participate at  
the workshop panel discussions.
