Project Europe is finally out!

It has taken some time, but now the book Project Europe. The Making of European Digital Innovation, Policy and Society is finally out! The book is co-edited by Luca Marelli, Jim Dratwa, Gert Verschraegen and Ine Van Hoyweghen and comprises an excellent line-up of authors including Barbara Prainsack, Brice Laurent, and Ulrike Felt (just to name some of them). I’m happy that I’ve contributed a chapter on Digital Europe from Below: Alternative routes to the Digital Decade – here’s the link to the table of contents.

AI & Democracy @ Digital Humanism Conference

Early bird registration for the Digital Humanism conference in May (Vienna) open until beginning of April!! I’ll be hosting a session on AI & Democracy together with Katja Mayer (28.5.2025): we’ve fabulous guests from around the world: Teki Akuetteh (Ms.), Siddhi Gupta, Michael Veale & Sebastian Kneidinger – to discuss how to move from values to action in terms of inclusive AI, human rights, and participatory design in times of political turmoil. This event is co-hosted by the ÖAW initiative “Democracy in Digital Society” (DEMGES) that I co-lead together with Barbara Prainsack (chair).
