June 11, 2024Political Grip on Digitisation @ PublicSpaces Conference 2024
Panel - How to make political choices surrounding digitalisation with Jesse Six Dijkstra, Barbara Kathmann, Queeny Rajkowski & Sander van der Waal
The discussion about the government's role in digitisation is sometimes narrowed
to a conversation about the deployment of ICT in government services. This
limited interpretation prevents a clear view of the political choices associated
with digitisation policy. Those political choices should be made from at least
two different perspectives: from the perspective of public values, but also from
the economic interest of strong and innovative companies that see sufficient
growth prospects. This panel considers the various dilemmas from these two
different perspectives. Its starting point is the pursuit of strategic autonomy,
in Europe and in the Netherlands; a strategic autonomy that is not only about
defence, energy supply, or food security, but also about essential digital
services.
The central question is whether an active industrial policy should be pursued
that encourages Dutch companies to innovate and develop new digital services and
products. The outgoing cabinet launched a National Technology Strategy in early
2024, containing 44 key technologies that the Netherlands should focus on. But
the new coalition agreement seems to bet on strategic autonomy without a vision
on the political role of digitalisation in this. Can we achieve strategic
autonomy in the digital field without policy supporting a strong Dutch
industrial sector?

June 11, 2024How to Realise Digital Autonomy @ PublicSpaces Conference 2024
Panel - With Bert Hubert, Maaike Okano-Heijmans, Queeny Rajkowski, Wido Potters & Kim van Sparrentak
With Bert Hubert's presentation, we will have an idee of what digital autonomy
is and why it is important. In this session, we will zoom in further. How do we
realise digital autonomy? What is needed to achieve this? And what can your
organisation do to contribute?
Following Bert Hubert's presentation, together with a panel of experts, we will
delve deeper into the concept of digital autonomy. Or: Digital Open Strategic
Autonomy (DOSA), as digital autonomy is often referred to in both Dutch and
European policy circles.
In the Netherlands and in Europe, our fully networked, digital society is
increasingly dependent on large multinationals from America and Asia. If we are
serious about economic security and sovereignty in our digital infrastructure
and economy, we need to get to work now - so argues the recently published
report ‘Too late to act? Europe's quest for cloud sovereignty' by the
Clingendael Institute. How do we keep a grip on our technology?

June 11, 2024Being Human on a Tech Hightide @ PublicSpaces Conference 2024
Keynote - Astrid Poot calling for punk-citizenship
There is a gap between the ideas for system change and the actual change of the
system. While we are aiming for a new digital world, we have to work with tools
and in worlds that are not in line with our ideals. How can we meet this interim
period we are in? Social designer and demonstrative philosophical writer Astrid
Poot calls for punk-citizenship. How can we make the story of ‘inevitable
evolving tech’ a story about humanity?
Inspired by Hannah Arendt, Poot will discuss making change while having limited
power, using anger and insecurity as a source. She'll challenge tech-experts
that are problem solving the world, and call for a punk attitude. And finally,
she’ll take us back to being human: what is good?

June 11, 2024Digital Autonomy @ PublicSpaces Conference 2024
Talk - What is it and why do we need to work on it now? With Bert Hubert
Digital autonomy refers to confidentiality, to agility and to resilience. It is
a term that often comes up in the search for a better, digital ecosystem.
Confidentiality, for example, involves the question of whether it is a problem
for other countries or Big Tech to be able to follow our communications. What
impact does it have if those parties can read along when we create policies that
directly relate to them? If we don't have digital autonomy, we can't be agile
either. If we always have to ask permission outside Europe to deploy private
tools, platforms, or "software as a service," implementing new or innovative
ideas is made unnecessarily difficult. Finally, digital autonomy is necessary to
be resilient. For example, if things go wrong with the cable to the U.S., or if
our telephone exchanges are hacked, will we still be able to protect ourselves
and get back on the air?
Many activists and public organsations have been working for years to convince
government and corporations of the need for digital autonomy, largely in vain.
More and more, organisations are shedding their own IT departments. And even
parliament and possibly soon the central government in the Netherlands have
surrendered their email to servers under American management.
How do we regain control of our own systems?

June 11, 2024Digital Commons to Realise Europe's Digital Ambitions @ PublicSpaces Conference 2024
Panel - How should the EU invest in public digital infrastructures and tools?
If Europe wants to be digitally sovereign, its digital infrastructures need to
be based on common, public values. To achieve this, Europe needs to invest
differently. But is there an appetite for that in Europe? Or are European
citizens happy with what Big Tech is currently providing? And if Europe invests
heavily, what and how should it invest in public digital infrastructures and
tools?
In this panel, we’ll hear from the citizen movement ‘People vs Big Tech’ that
unites millions of Europeans demanding different kinds of technologies. We’ll
explore how current programmes are paving the way for digital commons
initiatives as an approach that can safeguard public values. Such as the
initiative openDesk, led by the German Center for Digital Sovereignty of the
Public Administration (ZenDiS), that works on a sovereign workspace for all
based on modern, powerful, and scalable open-source solutions. We’ll discuss how
the Dutch ministry of interior affairs is putting the concept of digital commons
into practice, both nationally and via international collaborations.
The panel will be moderated by Paul Keller.
