Webinar/Podium Discussion: “‘Digital Sovereignty’ – Digitalization as a Challenge for the Sovereignty of States, Organizations and Citizens?”

Symbolic picture for the article. The link opens the image in a large view.

Digital technologies mean that more and more social and technical processes are being translated into data – i.e. “datafused”. The analysis of this data enables new insights, new services and is the basis for new data economies.
For some years now, however, the buzzword “digital sovereignty” has been used by various quarters to raise the problem that these new data economies challenge established notions of privacy and data protection, but also notions of state-territorial autonomy and authority.
At FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg, a group of scientists from various disciplines is working on demands for “digital sovereignty”. In the panel discussion at the Nuremberg Digital Festival, they will illuminate and discuss the background and proposed solutions to these demands for digital sovereignty for central social fields (e.g. politics, education, business, law, public communication).
