Workshop on International Relations in the Digital Age: Governing – and Being Governed by – Technology

DCN member Dennis Redeker (University of Bremen) is co-organising a workshop on “International Relations in the Digital Age: Governing – and Being Governed by – Technology”, taking place on 26–27 March 2026 at the University of Bremen.

The workshop brings together scholars from International Relations (IR), Science and Technology Studies (STS) and global governance to examine how emerging technologies are reshaping global politics — and how political dynamics, in turn, shape technological development and regulation. It is organised by the Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research (ZeMKI) and the Institute for Intercultural and International Studies (InIIS), University of Bremen, and the International Relations Section (IB-Sektion) of the German Political Science Association (DVPW), in cooperation with the World International Studies Committee (WISC), the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences (BIGSSS), and the EU Horizon Europe project to “Reignite Multilateralism via Technology” (REMIT, grant agreement No 101094228). Early-career researchers are particularly encouraged to apply, and a limited number of travel grants are available. There is no registration fee. Further information is available here.
