EuroDIG 2026 to bring European internet governance voices to Brussels

EuroDIG 2026 will take place on 26 and 27 May at the Charlemagne Building of the European Commission in Brussels, bringing together Europe’s internet governance community for two days of discussions on the future of the digital environment.

The event will be hosted by EURid, the registry operator for the .eu domain name, with support from the European Commission, a longstanding institutional partner of EuroDIG. This year’s edition also marks 20 years of .eu domain, celebrating two decades of what organisers describe as a trusted European digital identity.

The overarching theme is ‘European Voices for the Future of the Internet – Celebrating 20 Years of .eu and the Beginning of a New Internet Governance Era’. Discussions are expected to address issues including openness, security, multistakeholder governance, and Europe’s digital policy priorities.

Over the past 18 years, EuroDIG has served as a European multistakeholder platform for discussions on internet governance and digital public policy. Outcomes from the discussions contribute to broader international internet governance processes, including the Internet Governance Forum.

Participants from government, civil society, academia, the technical community, business, and youth groups are expected to take part in the discussions. Sessions will address topics including AI, digital identity, information integrity, infrastructure resilience, digital sovereignty, and democracy online.

Digital Watch Observatory is following EuroDIG 2026 through a dedicated event page, featuring session information and reporting from Brussels.
