The APILP seeks to develop the Asia Pacific region’s Internet governance leaders of tomorrow. The program is expected to help professionals from the Asia Pacific region better understand the global and regional Internet governance issues and processes. At the same time, the program allows access to comprehensive and structured knowledge on the various aspects of the Internet.

Keep up to date on World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and Internet Governance Forum (IGF).
