Doctoral Forum: Digital Law

2025-06-16

From 16 to 17 June 2025, the Joachim-Herz-Promotionskolleg, in collaboration with the Universität Innsbruck, the IT:U- Interdisciplinary Transformation University Austria, the Universität Heidelberg, and the Leibniz-Institut für Medienforschung | Hans-Bredow-Institut, hosted the Doctoral Forum: Digital Law.

The forum provided an opportunity for participants — all of whom doctoral students from the collaborating institutions — to present their research and take part in workshops on research methods and knowledge transfer, led by Marie-Therese Sekwenz (link) and Prof. Dr. Ben Wagner (link). Prof. Dr. Matthias C. Kettemann (link) offered insights into the interplay between ethics and AI, as well as the DSA. The event concluded with a presentation by João Andrade Neto (Superior Electoral Court of Brazil) on the influence of social media on elections and politics in Brazil.

The event took place at the Bundeskanzler-Helmut-Schmidt-Stiftung in the City Centre of Hamburg. We would like to thank the foundation and its friendly staff once again for their hospitality and the wonderful tour of the exhibition.
