EuroDIG News

Let us know how COVID-19 has shaped your digital life

We are interested in your most significant experiences related to the COVID-19 pandemic and to the use of the Internet. Which relevant digital issues have been brought to the forefront of public interest by the pandemic? Which challenges have already been overcome? Which issues remain and have not yet been discussed or have not been discussed enough?

We would like to incorporate your views into our session PRE 10: (Post) Covid – What has changed? What will stay? Open Mic Session and thus provide you with the opportunity to shape our session.

We would be happy to receive a short video of maximum 1 minute – alternatively, of course, we would also be happy to receive opinions in text form.

If you have any questions about the session or are interested in assisting to shape it, please contact us at office@eurodig.org
