Euro Dig

This Dialogue on Internet Governance intends to highlight in particular the specific European approach to the interplay between security, privacy, and openness: they will not be discussed as concepts that only conflict with each other and therefore need to be “balanced” but rather as principles that can be fostered simultaneously and even mutually reinforce each other. The main focus will be put on identifying – based on European experience – situations and solutions that reflect and respond to these issues and challenges.
