Date: 2020-10-07

The .cat domain was officially approved by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) at 1:04 (Catalan time) on September 16, 2005. It is a top-level domain for the Catalan culture and language and it is managed by the .Cat Foundation.

15 years later, there are 108.428 domains .cat. To use this domain, the website must be in Catalan or be related to the Catalan culture.

In this virtual event, we are going to discuss the features and success factors of this 15 years old story and look into some on the challenges ahead including in the EU context.

As panellists, we will have Carles Salvadó, president of the.cat Foundation, and Francesc Giralt, director of the foundation. The session will be moderated by the Representative of the Government of Catalonia to the EU, Meritxell Serret.
