Taking steps on the road to Digital Sovereignty: where I am? Where do I need to go? And how am I going to get there?

On Tuesday, December 8, The Knowledge Centre Data & Society is hosting  a hands-on workshop where, together with external experts, we will walk through the various steps to gain more control over your data and digital applications. This workshop is intended for any (umbrella) organisation that wants to focus on digital sovereignty.

During this workshop, you will assess how far your organisation has come in terms of digital sovereignty. You will explore practical ways to become more sovereign and receive an introduction to the European ‘tech sovereignty package’, which can support you in your next steps. You will leave with a more focused, resilient strategy and a clear idea of where to start.

What you'll learn

  • Understanding digital sovereignty. You get a clear picture of what digital sovereignty means in practice and which components matter, from cloud infrastructure and office software to the AI services you rely on. 
  • Mapping your organisation's profile. You see how your current set-up, based on a questionnaire, compares with the profile that fits your organisation's ambitions, and where the two differ. 
  • Building your sovereignty roadmap. You learn how mature your organisation currently is, which practical steps reduce dependency first, and how the tech sovereignty package can support them.
