While individually they cannot tell much about who you are and what you do, taken together they can form patterns about your life and your habits far beyond what you can imagine. As more cities implement ‘smart’ technologies, the question of the data becomes more pressing. The idea of establishing ‘digital sovereignty’ encapsulates this idea of controlling the use of one’s own data. This online workshop is organized by the Smart City & Digital Sovereignty Network, and brings together an interdisciplinary group of experts to exchange knowledge and practice. For more details on speakers and paper titles, please see below. *Attendance is free. Please register to help us plan the workshop.
