|SWING is a Winter School on Internet Governance designed to provide an advanced educational pathway for graduate students, early researchers, ICT professionals, and policymakers. The program aims to enhance the understanding of the themes and the stakeholders involved in the development, configuration, administration, and regulation of the Internet and digital technologies.
|SWING – School on Internet Governance 2026 will take place in Bruges, Belgium, from 20 to 24 April 2026. Hosted by the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration Studies (UNU-CRIS), SWING is designed for graduate students, early-career researchers, ICT professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in the field. The program aims to strengthen participants’ understanding of the actors, processes, and policy challenges, shaping the governance of the internet and digital technologies. Through a combination of expert-led lectures and interactive group work, participants collaboratively analyse key governance issues and develop policy recommendations to be presented during the program’s final sessions. The 2026 edition will focus on Digital Sovereignty — a timely and fast-evolving concept at the crossroads of Internet governance, geopolitics, economics, innovation, and fundamental rights.
Situated in a Southern Italian university and represented by a department with a strong international focus, SWING distinguishes itself from other European initiatives by emphasizing the Euro-Mediterranean region and non-Western geopolitical areas. It seeks to address a gap in post-university study and training in this strategic sector.
