Digital Society Conference 2022

The Digital Society programme, with the participation of all Dutch universities, is organizing the 4th edition of the Digital Society Conference. The event will take place on Monday 28 November 2022 at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. The Digital Society Conference is all about connecting citizens, researchers, policy advisors, civil society organisations, industry and entrepreneurs, so we can work together towards a common goal: to create a better digital society which is beneficial for all. The first Dutch Minister of Digitalization, Alexandra van Huffelen, will present her policy on digitalization. Moreover, there will be two internationally recognized keynote speakers, presentations about cutting-edge research projects and panel discussions on safety and security, all this under the direction of host Maaike Schoon. Between the sessions and at the end of the day, there will be ample opportunity for networking.

We want to inspire you and connect with you during this conference. The programme lasts from 09:30 AM until 17:30 PM.

Central theme: Safety & Resilience

Safety & Resilience in a Digital Society is this year's central theme. In a world threatened by wars, a pandemic and climate disasters, the safety and resilience of people and the infrastructures that support them are increasingly important. Those infrastructures increasingly include interwoven social, political and technical systems. Talking about the safety and resilience of digital technologies is also talking about the safety and resilience of individuals, families, workplaces, cultural heritage and democracy. At this one-day conference, the national Digital Society programme brings researchers from diverse academic backgrounds, policymakers and civil society organizations together to discuss how people can work together to build a more safe and resilient society.
