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
