The ISOC Portugal Chapter organized the “Portuguese IGF” on July 10, in
Lisbon.  The event  was co-organized  with FCT (Foundation for Science and
Technology of the Ministry of Education and Science) and received an
important support from the ISOC Europe Bureau. 

The event was organized around four topics: Intellectual Property in the
Digital World, Privacy Security and Cybercrime, Social Networks and Internet
Governance. After the opening session Fréderic Donck made a presentation of
the 20 th Anniversary of The Internet Society, and Fréderic also
participated in the panel on Internet Governance. The event was sponsored by
Google, OPTIMUS (mobile operator) and REFER (telecom operator).

Around 130 registered participants attended the event and also several
participants followed the event remotely using a specific presence in
Facebook and Twitter. We had the help of three volunteers, members of our
local chapter.
