GIG-ARTS School on Digital Governance

Our Alumni

A growing international community of researchers, professionals and practitioners who have taken part in the School and continue to contribute to the wider field of Internet and digital governance.

From SWING to GIG-ARTS

Two cohorts, one international community

The first two editions of the School brought together participants from universities, technical organisations, public institutions, civil society and the private sector. Their experience now forms the foundation of the GIG-ARTS School alumni community.
