*Time to Re-shape the Digital Society*

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 – 5000 Namur, Belgium)

*Submission deadline:*January 30th, 2020

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.
