About EuroDIG
The European Dialogue on Internet Governance organisation (EuroDIG) is an open multi-stakeholder platform to exchange views about the Internet and how it is governed. It was first organised in 2008 by a number of organisations, officials, and specialists. Its goal is to promote communication and cooperation with the Internet community about public policy for the Internet, with the annual conference being held in a different European city each year. The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) is delivered with prepared "Messages" from EuroDIG.
About YOUthDIG 2026
YOUthDIG 2026 is an exciting opportunity for young people from across Europe to learn about Internet governance and actively participate in shaping Europe’s digital future. Each year, EuroDIG fully funds passionate individuals aged 18-30 to participate and dive into pressing digital policy debates and emerging issues by receiving hands-on capacity-building training to actively contribute to EuroDIG and connect with peers through vibrant intercultural exchanges that foster collaboration and understanding.
Held in Brussels, Belgium, the program runs from 23–25 May 2026, with participants also attending the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) from 26–27 May 2026.
YOUthDIG includes pre-event webinars in April to prepare participants, followed by in-person workshops, peer learning, and networking with experts and fellow youth. Participants will develop and present policy messages reflecting youth perspectives at EuroDIG and the global Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
