Upcoming Events
The ESDiT research consortium is regularly organizing events to discuss the ethics of disruptive technologies with other researchers and with stakeholders.
Rethinking the socially disruptive techno-capitalist system: How Big Tech undermines democracy and destroys the well-being of people and the planet
The event, organised by the Wellbeing, Health and Emotions Research Line, is both an ESDiT Research Gathering and Impact Event.
This event consists of two parts:
10:00–12:00 PART I-INTERNAL EVENT (restricted to ESDiT research fellows)
13:00–17:30 – PART II – PUBLIC EVENT (open also to the public)
Doing Good in the Age of Big Tech and Declining Democracy
As the power of Big Tech continues to shape our economies, democracies, and everyday lives, urgent questions arise: who benefits, who decides, and what kind of future are we building? On 17 April, the ESDiT programme invites you to an afternoon of critical reflection and open dialogue on the societal impact of large technology companies and the possibilities for change.
ESDiT Away Days 2026
The ESDiT Away Days are only accessible for ESDiT Fellows.
