Secretariat Hosts Students from The University of Leiden
On 26 May, the IGF Secretariat had the pleasure of welcoming a group of over 90 Master’s students and faculty members from Leiden University’s International Relations and Democracy programme to the UN Palais in Geneva.
The students received an introduction to the IGF, its history, multistakeholder mechanisms, broader ecosystem, and the opportunities and challenges ahead for digital governance.
Following a presentation by the Head of the IGF Secretariat, Chengetai Masango, the session concluded with an engaging and insightful Q&A. The thoughtful questions and perspectives shared throughout the discussion reflected the strong academic foundation and critical thinking skills developed through the programme.
It was a pleasure to exchange views with the next generation of policymakers, diplomats, and leaders shaping our digital future.
Thank you to Leiden University for an inspiring visit!
