Dear all,

The ERC DATAUNION project, BSoG CD2I team, SMIT NUSE and Data & Society units will join forces on January 24, 2025 for a research exchange.

The intention of the research day is for these teams to get to know each other and have an exchange on work in progress (of various topics, formats, levels of maturity), roughly centred around the broad theme of digital governance and participation.

You are welcome to join for the morning, lunch and afternoon, either in person at Brussels School of Governance (Pleinlaan 5) or online (linkhttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_YjRkYjE1MzUtNTNkNS00Zjk2LTk2M2QtYTNjOTI0ODE0N2Jk@thread.v2/0?context=%7B%22Tid%22:%22695b7ca8-2da8-4545-a2da-42d03784e585%22,%22Oid%22:%229bbf8dfb-b57a-4830-9d58-e4603d62fdf7%22%7D). Both the morning and afternoon sessions will be available in hybrid format. Feel free to share this invitation with others whom you think might be interested, also at ULB!
