Digital Sovereignty and the Open Internet: Can they Coexist?

04 April 2025

Online

The Internet Governance Project (IGP) in collaboration with the Quello Center will gather scholars of differing views to debate what digital sovereignty means, how it is being used as a label, and whether the various interpretations of the term are compatible with the foundational values of the open internet.

The event will take place on 4 April 2025, from 10:00 – 11:00 am EST (15:00-16:00 CEST). It will be moderated by Johannes Bauer, the Quello Chair of Media and Information Policy, and will feature:

  • Anupam Chander,  legal expert on global regulation of new technologies.
  • Julia Pohle, co-director of research group Politics of Digitalisation at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center.
  • Marília Maciel, Director of Digital Trade and Economic Security at DiploFoundation.
  • Milton Mueller, Director of the Internet Governance Project (IGP) at Georgia Tech.
  • Min Jiang, Professor of Communication Studies at UNC Charlotte.
