way to link the different issues
(tech/social/development/economic/legal/security), and to fill
in any gaps across professional and issue areas is to step
back and take a look at the big picture of the overall issues.
You can analyse how they affect each other, discuss the topics
with colleagues who work in one area, and share your expertise
in another. You can see how experts from different regions are
addressing the same issues or different priorities. You can do
this online, in just 8-10 hours a week, by participating in

IG-related knowledge and skills for participants from both
developed and developing countries. It empowers them to
participate in global policy-making on IG, and stimulates
critical and dynamic debate among individuals with different
national, cultural, and stakeholder backgrounds. Participants
focus on controversial IG topics from different perspectives:
security/privacy, protection/human rights, economy/access, and
other apparent dichotomies. </span><br>
