The Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society is organizing its 
2022 annual conference on the subject of “Practicing Sovereignty. 
Interventions for open digital futures”. The conference will take place 
at the venue „Alte Münze“ in Berlin on Thursday, 9 June and Friday, 10 
June 2022.

The international conference and exhibition will investigate new 
opportunities for digital participation and policymaking and discuss 
alternative technological and social practices from various fields and 
disciplines. We frame digital sovereignty as a right to be claimed and a 
process constantly in the making, as a condition of the ability to 
critically partake in the digital transformation.

The conference will provide a transdisciplinary platform for scholars, 
artists, activists, and human rights advocates who develop 
transformative practices spaces to foster digital involvement. 
Grassroots initiatives, community projects, and participatory practices 
in design, art and activism appear as collective counter strategies and 
bottom-up interventions that challenge the normalization of inequalities 
and insecurities and push back against threats to an open society. They 
lay the groundwork for new forms of agency, paving novel ways of 
practicing sovereignty – both in the sense of collective activities as 
well as in terms of public education and experimentation.

To investigate the notion of digital sovereignty while respecting the 
plurality of its notion and approaches, the conference and exhibition 
offer four different tracks with shifting focuses:

• Digital sovereignty: terms, concepts, limitations
• Datafication and democracy
• Digital literacies and inequalities
• Digital sovereignty and scientific autonomy

Important Dates

• Deadline for submission – extended: 28 February 2022
• Notification for acceptance: 15 March 2022
• Conference: 9/10 June 2022
