Booking event 22/06/2023: Economic and Social Challenges in the Digital Age

On June 22, SciencesPo Paris and Georgetown Global Economic Challenges Network, with support from the McCourt Institute will hold a conference and panel discussion on Economic and Social Challenges in the Digital Age.

The increasing presence of technology in the digital age has led to a proliferation of unprecedented challenges. From the harvesting and abuse of personal data, damaging misinformation campaigns, and a surge in digital addiction, these issues risk the physical safety of online users, compromise individuals’ and companies’ privacy, and undermine democratic institutions. Through presentations and a discussion of the related policy issues, academics and policy makers will highlight the most pressing threats, and their possible solutions, associated by the next generation of the web.

The event is open in-person as well as online.
