Impressions from the week in Bremen

"​This is was such an amazing experience; learning from peers and experts and applying our knowledge practically!"

​"​I made a last-minute decision to join the BIP, and I am so glad I went. The passion and motivation
of the instructors was palpable and inspired all of us. It was such a unique experience to meet a lot
​ of new people and learn in a completely different way than in a normal university lecture or seminar."

Policy Briefs and EuroDIG 2024

Students, who participated in the Erasmus+ Blended-intensive Program wrote a set of six policy briefs related to the Global Digital Compact. These policy briefs critically engage with the content of the zero-draft document published by the co-facilitators on 1 April 2024.

With this enhanced and policy-ready knowledge attained, students participated virtually in the 17-19 June European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) conference that took place in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Taking a digital constitutionalist view on the GDC

We analyze the global rule-setting process through the lenses of digital constitutionalism, taking an interdisciplinary approach (including political science, communication, law and computer science). The BIP is part of the Teaching Partnership of the Digital Constitutionalism Network (DCN).
