Dear Students,

Hope you all are doing well.

Youth IGF India is a platform recognised by United Nations Internet Governance Forum and supported by the India School of Internet Governance (InSIG). This was created with a goal of raising awareness among younger generations on Internet Governance matters, empowering them to initiate and participate in discussions at the intersection of technology, policy and society, and building a new cadre of leaders.

After two successful editions, Youth IGF India is back with its annual event taking place virtually this year. The third edition of Youth Internet Governance Forum India (YIGF) annual event is being convened online this year for three days from 30th October to 1st November 2020. The agenda for this year’s event is around four overarching themes covering topics in Cybersecurity, Data Governance, Ethics, Censorship, Environment, Health, Emerging technologies, etc as follows:
1. Data
2. Trust
3. Inclusion
4. Environment

Experts from various regional and international organizations like the ICANN, Internet Engineering Task Force, Center for Internet and Society, APNIC, InSIG, Software Freedom Law Center, and Internet Society, have been a part of our family.

We truly believe that National University of Advanced Legal Studies, Kochi has many young visionaries who will strongly advocate and effectively contribute to the Internet Governance ecosystem. This will also be a great opportunity for everyone to listen and interact with the acclaimed speakers/panelists of the event.

We humbly request you to share the information about our event within your university and network.

The registrations for the annual forum of Youth Internet Governance Forum India are now open at https://rb.gy/st2t9g

There will be 'No Registration fees' for the event.

Although we target Indian youth for the event and to provide mentorship, all are welcome to attend the annual forum irrespective of their age or nationality. The last date to register for the event is 28th October, 2020.

We will also be issuing 'Certificate of Participation', for all the attendees on their avid participation throughout the event, and for further encouragement we are also recognizing the zealous participant in the event with the 'Best Participant Award'.

I have attached with this email a document for more information on the event along with the registration details.

We look forward to participation from your institution.

Please reach out to me for any queries.

Best Regards,

Ihita Gangavarapu
