With a tradition spanning over three decades, the Conference will celebrate its 33rd edition in 2025 in Limassol, Cyprus.
Digital technologies are rapidly evolving, affecting our lives in novel ways with sometimes unpredictable results. Together, policymakers and stakeholders must help society to make the most of these opportunities while also preventing negative effects on citizens and democracy. We endeavour to provide independent research to help build a fair digital future where we all can thrive.
