GigaNet 2024 is planned to be held 15 December 2024 alongside the United Nations Internet Governance Forum (IGF) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in a half-day in-person format and as a two-day online academic symposium the week of January 15, 2025.

To register for online or on-site attendance, please follow the IGF registration steps.

Submission of full papers (for online symposium): 1 January 2025

Papers on internet/digital governance-related topics are welcome, and preference will be given to papers that relate to the specific topics in the call text. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches are warmly encouraged. There will be the possibility for a focused subset of accepted papers to be fast-tracked for publication in a relevant journal. In previous years, collections of papers presented at the symposium were invited for publication in the journal Telecommunications Policy.

We particularly welcome presentations of research that take a global perspective, and explicitly invite comparative papers. GigaNet encourages emerging scholars and researchers working with diverse methodologies to submit their work to the symposium. Proposals should be submitted in English. Participation in the GigaNet symposium is free of charge.
