Meeting of the Jean Monnet Network on E-governance and digital transformation in the EU

Jean Monnet Chair ReDemo at the Faculty of Social Sciences hosts (7-8 April) the meeting of the Jean Monnet Network on E-governance and digital transformation in the EU (ENDE). Jean Monnet Networks are EU-funded prestigious research networks made up of scientists heading Jean Monnet Centers, Chairs or Modules. The main areas of the recently established ENDE network are related to the practical implementation of e-governance in the European Union. The rapid development of digitization not only changes the lives of citizens, but also affects the perception of the European Union and the functioning of institutions such as political parties and national parliaments. The aim of the interdisciplinary project, which combines political and European sciences, economics, law, international relations, and sociology, is to understand these processes, forecast trends and consequences of the ongoing changes.

During the current meeting, members of the JM Network ENDE will meet and exchange ideas with other research groups working on digitalisation based at the University of Wroclaw: the DIGITAL JUSTICE CENTER  (prof. Karolina Kremens, UWr) & COST Action “Regaining linkage? Digital technologies improving civic engagement, political organisations and democracy” (prof. Michał Jacuński, UWr)

The last day is devoted to the research workshop entitled “Digitalisation of Parliaments: Enhancing Institutional Resilience?”. During the workshop contributors discuss application of digital tools such as genAI to the legislative context.
