Registration open for 10th GIG-ARTS Conference hosted by DCU this May

23 April 2026

Registration is now open for the 10th European Multidisciplinary Conference on Global Internet Governance Actors, Regulations, Transactions and Strategies (GIG-ARTS), taking place on 14–15 May 2026 in Dublin, Ireland. FuJo is proud to support this year’s conference as a sponsoring organisation.

Researchers, practitioners, students, and those working across digital policy, rights, and innovation are invited to attend the 2026 edition, hosted at Dublin City University.

Centred on the theme “Digital Futures, Sustainable Freedoms: Rights, Responsibilities, and Governance,” the conference brings together interdisciplinary perspectives on the evolving relationship between digital technologies, human rights, and sustainability. It offers a space to critically explore how digital innovation can both enable and challenge the pursuit of equitable, rights-respecting futures.

The conference is co-organised by Dr Edoardo Celeste (DCU Law and Tech Research Cluster) and Dr Tanya Lokot (DCU Institute for Future Media, Democracy and Society), with support from the Digital Constitutionalism Network, ICANN, and the Internet & Communication Policy Center.

While the call for papers has now closed, non-presenting participants are warmly encouraged to attend. The event is expected to be of particular interest to those engaged in digital policy, digital rights, and green futures in Ireland and beyond.

Further information and registration are available via the official conference website and Eventbrite page.

FuJo members and the wider community are encouraged to take part in what promises to be two days of insightful discussion, networking, and collaboration with the international internet governance community.
