Upcoming course
Digital Infrastructure and the State: Innovation, Competition, and Public Purpose
An advanced course that offers a comprehensive exploration of digital infrastructure as a foundation for innovation, competitiveness, and strategic autonomy in the digital age.
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.
