10th GIG-ARTS Conference

The Tenth GIG-ARTS Conference, to be held at the Dublin City University on 14th-15th May 2026, takes as its main theme “Digital Futures, Sustainable Freedoms: Rights, Responsibilities and Governance.” It seeks to foster a multi-disciplinary discussion regarding the intersections of digital development, environmental concerns, and transnational governance. Co-organisers, DCU Law and Tech Research Cluster and Internet & Communication Policy Center, encourage contributions that resonate with both theoretical and practical perspectives, gathering insights from fields including law, political science, communication, policy studies, economics, technology studies, environmental research, and beyond. Participants are invited to examine the inconsistencies and synergies that arise between technological innovation, human rights, and environmental responsibility, and to develop governance approaches that can integrate digital rights with sustainable futures.
