Governing the Digital Future: Global Challenges and Opportunities

The event is organised by IAI within the framework of the Horizon Europe Project ENSURED, which aims to understand how the EU and its member states can defend and transform the multilateral system to make it stronger, more effective and democratic, and capable of adapting to a complex and ever-changing world.

The discussion will take stock of recent developments in digital governance, highlighting both emerging challenges and ongoing efforts to drive the way forward at national and international levels. Particular attention will be devoted to the role of multilateral fora amidst growing geopolitical fragmentation, as well as on their concrete impact in shaping global governance in the field.

The event will present findings from the ENSURED project workstream on digitalisation, alongside contributions from international researchers, experts and policymakers actively engaged in multilateral processes, who will share their insights and first-hand experience. They will be joined by scholars and practitioners from academia and think tanks, invited to contribute to the discussion on recent developments and emerging trends.
