[New] The webinar recording is now available here:
You receive hundreds of pieces of information on digital politics.
We receive them, too.
We decode, contextualise, and analyse them.
Then we summarise them for you.
Join us once a month for a round-up of the main IG-related events and developments. Every month, we look back at what happened and look ahead to what’s to come.
Our previous webinar provided an overview of April’s developments and an insight into May’s expectations.
The next webinar will take place on Tuesday, 3 June 2014, at 13.00 CET.
Registration is now closed
