International Conference celebrating the 40th Anniversary of CRIDS

2nd and 3rd of July 2020, Namur, Belgium

*Dates:*Thursday 2 July 2020 – Friday 3 July 2020

*Location:*University of Namur, Faculty of Law (rempart de la Vierge 5 –

This two-day conference celebrates the 40^th anniversary of the CRIDS 
(Centre de recherche information, droit et société - Information, Law 
and Society Research Center). It will take place on Thursday 2 July and 
Friday 3 July 2020 at the University of Namur.

The theme of the anniversary conference is to reflect on the future of 
our digital society to make it a better place for the generations to 
come. Over the past 40 years we have seen technology develop and many 
attempts to tame and frame its impact on society. There have been some 
successes but also some failures.

The conference will assemble academics, researchers and practitioners 
from all over the world and from different disciplines (law, sociology, 
philosophy, communication and information studies, etc.) to reflect on a 
future framework for the development of a better digital society.

While a number of speakers will be specifically invited to present their 
vision, many slots are open to researchers and practitioners through 
this call for papers.

A summer school on recent and future EU legislation affecting the 
digital society will take place on Tuesday 30 June and Wednesday 1 July 
2020.
