The Internet is a fundamental component of economic, social, and political life around the world. It currently connects more than three billion people, and it is estimated that 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020. The stable and flexible functioning of the Internet is becoming increasingly important for developed, emerging, and developing countries and their citizens.

The governance of internet ecosystem has long been the concern of a selected group of stakeholders. But the number of interested parties, both state and non-state stakeholders, is increasing as global connectivity spreads.

It will offer potential governance scenarios and analyse its international, regional, and national political, economic, and technical implications.

The target audience comprises of students, practitioners, researchers and professionals from Academia and Research, Civil Society, NGOs, Public Sector, Technical Community, Private Sector, Business and Students. Interest and basic understanding of the Internet is the only requirement to attend the school.
