<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The Internet and digital technologies are having an increasing impact on our social and economic development.
At the same time, the global community is facing many challenges when it comes to ensuring the sustainable development of the free and open Internet. In particular after the revelations around digital surveillance by the USA and other states, European countries
have a responsibility to participate actively in the global debate around Internet Freedom and to enable countries from the global South to participate in these debates equally.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">One role of development cooperation today is to facilitate a broader dialogue between Germany, other European
countries and countries from the Global South to develop and discuss ideas for the structure and the design of a free and open internet of the future. Aim of the project “Europe’s contribution to a free and open Internet”, hosted by the stiftung neue verantwortung
is to create a broader understanding and stimulate debates within development organizations as well as with actors in developing countries on Internet Freedom issues.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">During the past nine months a group of experts from the German development community have been conducting
research into digital rights issues from a development perspective. The work of the project includes research on the ICT4D activities and strategies of European donors, interviews with different experts on digital rights and Internet Governance related issues
as well as case studies with contributions and review of the findings by experts from partner countries. We hope you will be able to join our project team in Berlin on September 9<sup>th</sup> for a lively debate on the role of development cooperation and
Internet Freedom.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
