<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">GigaNet is a scholarly community that promotes the development of Internet Governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study and facilitates informed dialogue on policy
issues and related matters between scholars and governments, international organizations, the private sector and civil society.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">Since 2006, GigaNet has organized an Annual Symposium to showcase research about Internet Governance, bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines and fields.
As in previous years, the symposium will provide room to discuss current and future questions as well as the challenges encountered and results achieved in global Internet governance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">GigaNet is interested in receiving abstracts related to Internet Governance themes, especially those containing innovative approaches and/or emerging research areas. This year,
we are especially encouraging submissions on two interwoven themes: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">This year, one panel will be especially devoted to emerging scholars in the field. We define emerging scholars as doctoral students working on an approved proposal through scholars
who have received their PhD within the past three years. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

scholars will present their work in a more traditional academic panel. In both cases, presenters should expect to have conversations about their work with people from a wide range of stakeholder groups.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
