Panel II: Shared Digital Public Space - An Opportunity for Europe

Wissensturm

In recent years, the European Union has been taking a more active role in shaping our digital future - a number of instruments are on their way. But something that is still missing on a European level are instruments to foster digital alternatives to big tech platforms and open source development and maintenance. In this panel, we will learn more about already existing examples from Germany, but also initiatives that are taking shape at the European level, and discuss them together in the context of European Cultural Backbone.

Speakers: Adriana Groh (The New Institute, DE), Paul Keller (Open Future Foundation, NL), Helga Schwarzwald (VFRÖ, AT)
