DigiSem is a bi-annual workshop for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, organised by bidt, CAIS, Hans-Bredow-Institute and Weizenbaum Institute. The workshop will include a keynote by a renowned expert, multiple sessions on specific aspects of the workshop’s overarching theme. The seminar provides a platform for discussing project ideas, research results, feasibility studies, and/or pilots for product/app development.

The second edition of DigiSem focuses on a pressing subject that has also been selected as topic of the Science Year 2024: Freedom. It takes into focus what digital freedom means and what impact this may have on our lives with respect to more or less autonomy, well-being and possibilities to participate in public life.
