"Time to Re-shape the Digital Society"
Thursday 2 July 2020 – Friday 3 July 2020
University of Namur, Faculty of Law (rempart de la Vierge 5 – 5000
Namur, Belgium)
This two-day conference celebrates the 40th anniversary of the CRIDS
(Centre de recherche information, droit et société - Information, Law and
Society Research Center). It will take place on Thursday 2 July and Friday 3
July 2020 at the University of Namur.
The theme of the anniversary conference is to reflect on the future of
our digital society to make it a better place for the generations to come. Over
the past 40 years we have seen technology develop and many attempts to tame and
frame its impact on society. There have been some successes but also some
failures.
The conference will assemble academics, researchers and practitioners
from all over the world and from different disciplines (law, sociology,
philosophy, communication and information studies, etc.) to reflect on a future
framework for the development of a better digital society.
While a number of speakers will be specifically invited to present their
vision, many slots are open to researchers and practitioners through this call
for papers.
A summer school on recent and future EU legislation affecting the
digital society will take place on Tuesday 30 June and Wednesday 1 July 2020.
