List of proposals for EuroDIG 2026

27-10-25 | 17:08 Access & literacy | Development of IG ecosystem | Innovation & economic issues This is indeed a huge problem and seen as an unsurmountable challenge - historically, for a very, very long time. There are gross imbalances in a wealthy, very wealthy world, between the rich and poor, between the educated and uneducated, between the privileged and unprivileged; While the variations in level (or classes) are natural and perpetual, at various points of time, these differences are wide, with the less fortunate population living a life of scarcity and insufficiency; This can change, refugees can live, poor can live away from squalor and free of hunger, there can be water to drink and food to eat for every human; This can happen without depriving the wealthy of their wealth or the privileged of their respect, there are solutions that the Internet technologies and emerging technologies have brought about, but still not so well defined, still not attended to; Some of these solutions arise from older notions of goodness such as cities of refuge, charity, kindness, all of which can be channelised in a coordinated manner for amplified, exponential effect. Would Eurodig rephrase this into today's language of government and the language of business and address this theme in a manner that it emcompasses economic prosperity, reasonable good education by good actors, shelter, food and water and well being ?

17-11-25 | 20:56 Security & crime AI Transparency & Accountability in Public Sector Use Suggested issue: Ensuring transparency and accountability in the use of artificial intelligence by public sector institutions across Europe. Explanation & relevance for Europe: As European governments rapidly adopt AI systems in public administration—including automated decision-making, risk assessment tools, digital public services, and data processing platforms—there is a growing need to ensure that these systems are transparent, explainable, and subject to effective oversight. Lack of clear transparency standards, insufficient auditing mechanisms, and inconsistent data protection safeguards can undermine trust, reduce fairness in public decision-making, and increase the risk of discrimination or misuse of personal data. This issue is part of a broader and more complex challenge: aligning AI deployment with European values, human rights, fundamental freedoms, and democratic accountability. Developing a shared European approach to transparency obligations, risk mitigation, algorithmic auditing, and cross-border cooperation would help ensure that public sector AI strengthens governance rather than creates new risks.

17-11-25 | 21:04 Human rights & privacy | Media & content The impact of AI-generated misinformation during crises and its influence on public trust and safety. Explanation: Across Europe, emergency communication is increasingly challenged by AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, and manipulated crisis-related content. These tools can rapidly erode public trust, delay protective actions, and disrupt coordinated responses during natural disasters, conflicts, health emergencies or security incidents. This issue is connected to a wider problem of digital information integrity, crisis governance, and societal resilience. Addressing it requires stronger cooperation between governments, platforms, researchers and civil society to build reliable communication mechanisms, improve public awareness, and reduce cross-border risks stemming from malicious uses of AI.
