SUMMARY:Exploring Digital Constitutionalism: A Counter-Critique
DESCRIPTION:On April 9th 2024 Dr. Edoardo Celeste spoke about “Conceptual Approaches to Digital Constitutionalism: A Counter-Critique” as part of Tilburg University’s TILT Seminar series. \nAbstract: Over the past decade\, the concept of digital constitutionalism has attracted attention from scholars from various disciplines\, judges\, policymakers and private companies. Edoardo Celeste will provide a systematic mapping of how this notion has been used and criticised over the past few years. Theories of digital constitutionalism emerged with an innovative and progressive meaning\, referring to an expanded constitutional dimension beyond the State. Recent scholarship has proposed a more holistic conception and has simultaneously applied this notion to specific fields or normative sources. Celeste will propose three models of categorisation of the emerging scholarly approaches to digital constitutionalism and analyse three categories of critical arguments that have been moved to the theory of digital constitutionalism. Building on his work on the topic\, Celeste will conclude with a personal counter-critique to these views. \nSpeaker: Dr. Edoardo Celeste is an Associate Professor of Law\, Technology and Innovation at the School of Law and Government of Dublin City University\, Ireland. He specialises in EU and comparative digital law\, focusing in particular on digital constitutionalism\, social media governance\, and digital sustainability. Edoardo is the Programme Chair of the Erasmus Mundus Master in Law\, Data and Artificial Intelligence (EMILDAI)\, and the coordinator of the DCU Law and Tech Research Cluster. \nEdoardo is the author of the monographs ‘Digital Constitutionalism: The Role of Internet Bills of Rights‘ (Routledge 2022) and ‘The Content Governance Dilemma‘ (Palgrave 2023). He published his works in leading legal journals and edited the books ‘Data Protection Beyond Borders‘ (Hart 2021)\, ‘Constitutionalising Social Media‘ (Hart 2022) and ‘Data Protection and Digital Sovereignty Post-Brexit‘ (Hart 2023). \nEdoardo won the Irish Research Council Early Career Researcher of Year Award 2022 and is a member of the Editorial Board of the European Journal of Law and Technology (EJLT). \nModerator: Dr. Sunimal Mendis

SUMMARY:Digital Constitutionalism and the UN Global Digital Compact
DESCRIPTION:This Blended Intensive Program (BIP) was organized by the Digital Constitutionalism Network (DCN) and offered students from different European universities an opportunity to come together\, both virtually and in person\, to discuss issues pertaining to digital developments and related global policy development processes. The BIP is part of a teaching partnership that the DCN has promoted since 2019. The 2024 BIP followed upon a successful BIP organized at the University of Padova in 2023. The BIP continued to engage participants in a transdisciplinary way\, with a focus on theories and methods from legal studies\, media and communication\, and political science.\n​\nThe 2024 BIP was dedicated to exploring the intersections between Digital Constitutionalism and the UN Global Digital Compact. It aimed at providing students with the theoretical\, analytical and methodological tools to make sense of the values and principles that (should) guide regulatory arrangements for the digital age\, including those proposed in the consultation process for the UN’s Global Digital Compact due to be agreed at the September 2024 Summit of the Future.The 2024 BIP included two components – one online and one offline – during which students explored a range of issues related to digital constitutionalism and the UN Global Digital Compact. The program also provided participants transversal skills\, including: public speaking\, group work\, intercultural competences and the know-how needed for effective interventions in digital governance such as policy brief writing skills.The common policy-oriented research project\, on which students worked on in small teams\, focuses on research tasks related to the Global Digital Compact\, specifically the influences that went into its formulation between UN member states. Here\, the consultation process allows for a multi-method inquiry of a highly current topic that concerns scholars\, policymakers\, activists and citizens the world over. In addition to publicly available materials from the consultations\, students could also conduct interviews. Students also made use of the DCN database of 321 digital bills of rights published over the past thirty years\, in order to better understand the path toward the UN Global Digital Compact.

SUMMARY:REMIT Roundtable on the UN Global Digital Compact
DESCRIPTION:On 25 April 2024\, about forty members of the public\, including university students and staff\, participated in a public roundtable event organized by REMIT researcher Dennis Redeker at UBREMEN. \nThe event focused on the state of affairs for multilateralism and multistakeholderism in the governance of digital technologies\, against the background of the ongoing negotiations of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) at the United Nations. \nThree speakers discussed the state of multilateralism in Internet governance\, the open consultation process for the GDC and the ongoing inter-state negotiations ahead of the Summit of the Future that will take place in September 2024 in New York. At the Summit\, the GDC is due to be finally agreed as part of a “Pact for the Future” to strengthen global cooperation across a number of key areas\, including technology governance\, the sustainable development goals\, and human rights. \nOlga Kyryliuk (Internews/South Eastern European Dialogue on Internet Governance)\, Minda Moreira (Internet Rights and Principles Coalition) and Marianne Franklin (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen) provided diverse  perspectives from academia and civil society onto pressing needs to bring in a multitude of voices into the ongoing negotiations. After a few initial remarks\, they all stood ready to answer the audience’s questions. The event has been co-hosted with the Digital Constitutionalism Network\, whose Erasmus+ Blended-Intensive Program on the GDC took place in Bremen during the entire week. The two-hour roundtable took place at the “Haus der Wissenschaft” (“House of Science”)\, which is publicly accessible and centrally located in the old town area.
