Why EuroDIG matters for civil society:
EuroDIG is important because it gives civil society a voice in shaping digital policy at the European level. It enables dialogue with governments, the private sector, and experts, helping protect rights like freedom of expression and privacy. It also offers space for networking and joint advocacy for transparent and fair internet governance.
