Reminder: Call for Abstracts (Deadline 9th March) | Solidarity & Sovereignty in the Digital Age
--- Kindly forward it to anyone who might be interested --- --- Apologies for cross-posting ---
The Vienna Centre for Societal Security (VICESSE) and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology are happy to announce their continuous collaboration to host the Social-Science Track on the 5th June 2025 at the International Digital Security Forum (IDSF) in Vienna, Austria on the theme: "Sovereignty and Solidarity in the Digital Age - a critical view".
The Social-Science Track "Sovereignty and Solidarity in the Digital Age - a critical view" aims to discuss solidarity and sovereignty against the backdrop of the developments termed the Digital Age, such as increased datafication, connectivity and surveillance. It provides a space for critical reflection of the challenges and opportunities the Digital Age affords to solidarity and sovereignty, both with a view of its infrastructures as well as looking ahead towards potential alternative futures.
The Social-Science Track at the IDSF 2025 provides a unique opportunity to discuss insights from novel research undertakings on solidarity and sovereignty in the digital age with a diverse international audience - academic and non-academic alike. This also includes stakeholders from the private sector, from the national and international governments and public bodies, such as the United Nations, OSCE or the European Commission, as well as from non-governmental organisations.
We invite conceptual-theoretical and/or empirical contributions from social science and legal scholars. We also explicitly welcome contributions based on first-hand experience from activist groups and technology developers. Contributions should address one or more of the following general topics:
- Challenges to sovereignty and solidarity in the digital age: exploring how digital technologies disrupt solidarity and sovereignty, including deliberate forms of disruption
- The role of infrastructures and actors: investigating how techno-social and regulatory infrastructures, as well as the actors who design, maintain, and govern them, impact sovereignty and solidarity in the digitalized world
- Opportunities for strengthening solidarity and sovereignty: analyzing how digital technologies, policies, or grassroots initiatives offer pathways to reinforce sovereignty and solidarity
- Imagining alternative futures: envisioning alternative trajectories for a digitalized world that foster and reinvent sovereignty and solidarity
The full Call for Abstracts can be found here, as well as attached to this e-mail.
