GIG-ARTS 2024

The Eighth GIG-ARTS Conference, to be held at The Hague Campus of Leiden University, takes
as its main theme “Thirty Years of Multistakeholderism in Internet Governance: Assessments
and Prospects”. The multistakeholder principle has spread across governance of the internet
(and other global issues) since the 1990s. After three decades of experimentation and
development, how has this approach to ruling the internet fared? What promises have been
fulfilled, and what problems persist? How can and should multistakeholder governance of the
internet be taken forward into the future?
