 The Global Internet Governance Academic Network
(GigaNet)<http://giga-net.org/> is
a scholarly community which aims: (i) to promote the development of Internet
Governance as a recognized interdisciplinary field of study and (ii) to
facilitate the informed dialogue on policy and issues in a multistakeholder
approach.

To fulfill its goals, GigaNet has organized an annual research symposium
since 2006. Held in conjunction with the Internet Governance Forum, it is an
opportunity to showcase current research on Internet Governance from around
the world and provides a venue for scholars to discuss and debate these
crucial issues.

Prior successful symposia in Greece (2006), Brazil (2007), India (2008) and
Egypt (2009) lead us to the Fifth GigaNet Symposium to be held in Vilnius,
Lithuania, on September 13th, 2010 - one day before the IGF official
opening, at LITEXPO. This year's Symposium is graciously sponsored in part
by the MIT Press <http://mitpress.mit.edu/main/home/default.asp>, with
facilities provided by the IGF Secretariat.

Registration is free of charge. If you are planning to attend or remotely
