EVENT I Roundtable discussion on comparative and global tech governance

Center for IT & IP (CiTiP) at KU Leuven and Centro de Estudios en Libertad de Expresión y Acceso a la Información (CELE) at Universidad de Palermo, Argentina are holding an in-person roundtable discussion on comparative and global tech governance.

Date: December 4th, 2024
Time:  2:00 PM – 5:00 PM CEST
Location: Leuven, Belgium

The roundtable will be led by the discussion of a draft paper that CELE is publishing early next year entitled “Are Risks the New Rights? The Perils of Risk-based Approaches to Speech Regulation”.

Current internet governance debates are marked by complex and decentralized threats and priorities over the protection of human rights. Models for regulation are being discussed in different corners of the world but seem to be streamlining into a risks-based paradigm rather than a rights paradigm. This roundtable seeks to explore key questions that underlie ongoing debates over the future protection of human rights online, particularly under this new risks paradigm.

CELE’s Director Agustina Del Campo and researcher Nicolas Zara will present the paper and Professors Aleksandra Kuczerawy from CiTiP and Joris Van Hoboken, Director of the DSA Observatory at the University of Amsterdam (TBC), will intervene as respondents.
