The Internet Freedom Conference is co-organised by the Austrian Chairmanship of the OSCE, the Czech Chairmanship of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe. Building on the impetus given by the 2016 Conference “Internet Freedom: a constant factor of democratic security in Europe”, also jointly organized by the Council of Europe and the OSCE presidency, the Conference will again provide floor for debate on crucial issues related to human rights on the internet.
This year major stakeholders will be brought together to engage in critical conversations about the nature and scope of the responsibilities of internet intermediaries, their relationship with state and other non-state actors, including traditional media actors and civil society organisations, in order to foster the adoption and implementation of corresponding policies consonant with international standards.
The Conference will take place on 13 October 2017 in Vienna.
