[GIG-ARTS] GIG-ARTS is entering a new phase

[Mauro SANTANIELLO]

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past ten editions, GIG-ARTS has grown from an annual academic
conference into an international community bringing together scholars and
practitioners working on Internet governance, digital policy and the
transformation of digital society.

Today, we are pleased to announce three important developments.

First, GIG-ARTS is adopting a new governance framework designed to
strengthen the continuity, openness and international reach of the
community, with a renewed Steering Committee and clearer responsibilities
for scientific coordination, institutional relations, communication,
impact, partnerships and future activities.

Second, we are launching our new website, conceived not simply as the home
of the GIG-ARTS Conference Series, but as the common platform for the
growing range of activities developed by the community.

And third, the SWING School on Internet Governance is joining the GIG-ARTS
ecosystem. Building on the experience developed through its previous
editions, the School will become a permanent educational pillar of the
community, alongside the GIG-ARTS Conference Series.

This means that GIG-ARTS will now develop around two closely connected
spaces:

• the GIG-ARTS Conference Series, dedicated to advancing research and
scholarly debate on Internet and digital governance;

• the GIG-ARTS School on Digital Governance, dedicated to advanced
training, interdisciplinary exchange and engagement among academia, public
authorities, civil society, business and practitioners.

And the next appointments are already on the calendar:

📍 GIG-ARTS School on Digital Governance
Salerno, Italy | 22–26 February 2027

📍 11th GIG-ARTS Conference
Tallinn, Estonia | 20–21 May 2027

A common community. A broader programme of activities. And a renewed
commitment to creating international spaces where the governance of digital
transformation can be studied, discussed and shaped collectively.

Further details, calls and programme announcements will follow soon.
