The Internet Governance Project (IGP) in collaboration with the Quello Center will gather scholars of differing views to debate what digital sovereignty means, how it is being used as a label, and whether the various interpretations of the term are compatible with the foundational values of the open internet.
The event will take place on 4 April 2025, from 10:00 – 11:00 am EST (15:00-16:00 CEST). It will be moderated by Johannes Bauer, the Quello Chair of Media and Information Policy, and will feature:
