EuroDIG - European Dialogue on Internet Governance

What EuroDIG - European Dialogue on Internet Governance does

EuroDIG (European Dialogue on Internet Governance) is a Swiss not-for-profit association, legally incorporated on 15 June 2012 in Stockholm under Swiss Civil Code Art. 60–79 as the EuroDIG Support Association and headquartered in Switzerland. First organized in 2008, it operates as an open multi-stakeholder platform that brings together government representatives, civil society, the technical community, the private sector, and academia to discuss public policy issues related to Internet governance. Its core offerings include the annual EuroDIG conference held in a different European city each year, the YOUthDIG youth pre-event for participants aged 18–30, ad-hoc EuroDIG Extra virtual sessions on emerging topics, and EuroDIG Messages — consensus-based policy outputs that are forwarded to the UN-convened Internet Governance Forum.

The underlying technology stack is modest and collaboration-centric. The primary digital asset is the EuroDIG Wiki, which functions as both the working space for session organization and the long-term archive of all annual event outcomes. Session documentation is supported through AI-generated transcripts and reports produced in cooperation with the Geneva Internet Platform, and a commenting platform enables community input on Messages. EuroDIG does not develop proprietary software products; its value is in the convening process, the 18-year archive, and the institutional recognition that comes from feeding European perspectives into global Internet governance processes including the WSIS+20 review.

EuroDIG operates on a non-commercial revenue model. Events are free to attend with mandatory registration, and the organization explicitly states its budget is 'very tight and far from sustainable.' Financial support comes from institutional partners — the European Commission, ICANN, Council of Europe, Internet Society, UNESCO, RIPE NCC, EURid, EBU, CENTR, and others — and from donor contributions by national domain registries (SIDN, Norid, nic.at, SWITCH, DENIC, .pt, Verisign) and the IGF Support Association. YOUthDIG fellows receive fully funded travel and accommodation. The organization has 1–10 employees and is governed by a Board including a Secretary General and President.

Broad incumbents

• ICANN: Multi-stakeholder organization coordinating the DNS and unique identifiers. ICANN is a Core Institutional Partner of EuroDIG and overlaps heavily on technical community engagement, At-Large structures (EURALO), and Internet governance policy dialogue.
• Council of Europe: Intergovernmental organization setting European standards on human rights, rule of law, and increasingly digital policy. CoE is a Core Institutional Partner and contributes policy frameworks (platform accountability, users' agency) that shape EuroDIG sessions.
• Internet Governance Forum (IGF): UN-convened global multistakeholder forum on Internet governance, explicitly connected to EuroDIG through the 'Messages' pipeline. EuroDIG's annual outputs feed into the global IGF process, making it the regional counterpart at the European level.
• Internet Society (ISOC): Global nonprofit focused on an open, globally connected Internet. ISOC is a Core Institutional Partner of EuroDIG with board representation, and shares the multistakeholder ethos and target audience of policymakers, civil society, and technical community.

Direct peers

• IGF Support Association (igfsa): Provides financial and logistical support to the global IGF and regional/national IGF initiatives, including EuroDIG. Direct donor relationship and structurally aligned mission to sustain multistakeholder Internet governance forums.
• Geneva Internet Platform (GIP) / DiploFoundation: Operates a neutral Geneva-based platform for Internet governance dialogue and digital policy capacity building. GIP is a listed EuroDIG partner that produces AI-generated session reports for EuroDIG events and covers them via dig.watch, with deeply overlapping stakeholder community.
• European Internet Forum (EIF): Brussels-based multistakeholder platform convening EU policymakers, industry, and civil society on digital and Internet policy. Comparable in mission and stakeholder base to EuroDIG but with stronger industry tilt and EU-institutional focus rather than pan-European open multistakeholder model.

Emerging players

• EURid: Registry operator for the .eu ccTLD and host of EuroDIG 2026 in Brussels. Comparable as a European Internet governance stakeholder with active youth engagement (EURid Youth Committee feeds YOUthDIG), and shares donor partner profile.
• RIPE NCC: Regional Internet Registry for Europe, Middle East, and parts of Central Asia. Core Institutional Partner of EuroDIG that brings the technical operator community perspective, and operates its own community meetings and policy forums that overlap with EuroDIG's audience.

Regional players

• DigitalEurope: Brussels-based industry association representing the digital technology sector in Europe. Comparable as a European digital policy convening body engaging EU institutions, though with an industry-membership rather than multistakeholder bottom-up model.
