March 25, 2021 @ 12:00 am - 1:00 pm
Main mission of IDnext is all about sharing knowledge. There are multiple ways doing this. Still, we do know that time is precious, and it needs to be spent in an effective and timely manner. What is the best way doing this?
During the day, it is time for a break and have a moment to sit down and have a good discussion with fellow peers, connect and share your thoughts on a variety of topics.
Topic of this IDnext Lunch Break is
“Digital Strategic Autonomy”
Strategic autonomy (in short, the capabilities and capacities to realise and safeguard sovereignty) is a top theme in EU policy and politics. Digital strategic autonomy is how this theme is applied in the digital domain. Paul Timmers will analyse the relation between digital strategic autonomy and recent EU policy and legislation such as the Digital Markets Act, Digital Services Act, NIS2 Directive and possibly also the revision of the eIDAS Regulation.
