Jean Monnet Chair
Sharing dilemmas and solutions on the daily practice of EU digital policies
What is EU-Act Digital about?
Over the next three years, Dutch companies, NGOs, municipalities, and ministries will face 13 new European laws, all related to 'digitalisation': the influence of information and communication technology on behaviour, government, society, security, etc. This means there is work ahead for the current generation of students, who need to learn about the dilemmas and solutions that our society will face. Without government regulation, companies take control of our data, rights, and behavior.
