Earlier in the week, we teased a miniseries called the Community
Podcasts, which you’ll find right alongside the Transatlantic Cable
podcast. I will remain your faithful host, and Anastasiya Kazakova
of our Government Affairs office will join me.
This series of podcasts features frank conversations with
cyberheroes who unite people despite everything — growing
fragmentation, confrontation, and ever-changing cyberthreats —
people are still building communities and uniting folks to work
together for the common good. Why are they doing that? And is it
working?
For our first episode, we focus on the Geneva Dialogue, launched in
2018 by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA) in
cooperation with the Geneva Internet Platform (GIP), the UN
Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), ETH Zurich, and the
University of Lausanne. The flourishing initiative is uniting even
more stakeholders across the globe; however, its initial goals
seemed much broader than today’s, and the list of organizers has
changed.
Today’s guests:
• Jonas Grätz, political affairs officer for cyberdiplomacy at the
Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, International Security
Division;
• Vladimir Radunovic, director of cybersecurity and e-diplomacy
programs at DiploFoundation.
