Tænketanken EUROPA lancerer netværk om EU's digitale politik

Læs pressemeddelelsen herunder, udsendt 14. februar

Today Think Tank EUROPA launches a new network bringing together six think tanks from small, digital frontrunner states in the EU to foster a dialogue on the EU's next digital agenda.

The network will examine emerging priorities and formulate policy options and trade-offs seen from the perspectives of the represented member states, all of which are part of the D9+ alliance of digital pioneers.

By engaging a diverse range of stakeholders, it aims to increase awareness of digital politics in the EU and provide a platform for discussing the future of European digital competitiveness and sovereignty.

In recent years the EU has established itself as a global leader in setting standards for digital rights. Yet advancing European innovation and competitiveness continues to pose significant challenges. We expect this task to receive increased attention in coming years.

With pivotal events like the European elections in June, the unveiling of a new Strategic Agenda by the European Council, and the formation of the next Commission, 2024 is set to be a landmark year for these discussions.

Network members: 

• Alexandre Ferreira Gomes, Clingendael Institute, Netherlands
• Elsa Hedling, Swedish Institute of International Affairs, Sweden
• Iben Tybjærg Schacke-Barfoed, Think Tank EUROPA, Denmark
• Klára Votavova / Silke Maes, Europeum, Czech Republic
• Markus Holmgren, Finnish Institute of International Affairs, Finland
• Seamus Allen, Institute of International & European Affairs, Ireland

Project manager: Rasmus Egmont Foss, Think Tank EUROPA

The project will run through 2024 and is funded by Google.
