| | | | | | The Austrian Institute for International Affairs (oiip) cordially invites you to following Fireside Conversation with Nemanja (Neno) MALISEVIC Senior Director, Digital Diplomacy, Microsoft on From Handshakes to Hashtags: Challenges to Digital Diplomacy Date & Time: Tuesday, 25 March 2025 17:00 – 18:30 Venue: oiip Währingerstrasse 3/12 (2nd floor), 1090 Vienna Discussant: Dr. Loïc Simonet oiip In an era defined by unprecedented technological advancement, cyberspace has emerged as a key battleground in modern warfare, transforming not only how conflicts are fought but also reshaping political efforts to secure lasting peace. As a result, diplomatic negotiations surrounding cyberspace have intensified as states grapple with the need for rules governing digital conflicts and cyber operations. Most recently, the Russian Federation succeeded in pushing through a new United Nations convention on cybercrime, which has been heavily criticised by industry and civil society, especially from a human rights and privacy perspective. The next 12-18 months will likely set the stage for several other, key cybersecurity discussions at the UN, including negotiations on a Regular Institutional Dialogue / Permanent Mechanism. What do these developments mean for the future of digital diplomacy? What role can the international community and other stakeholders – in particular industry and civil society - play in promoting lasting peace in cyberspace? The discussion will be held in English. The official invitation will be circulated by mid-March, together with the link to register.
