On the 4th of July Dr. Els de Busser, an expert on Digital Justice will give a talk: Securing Fundamental Rights and Freedoms in a Digital Context The digitalization of many aspects of society has a profound impact on governance, on processes, and on decision-making. The area of justice – traditionally laid down in old conventions, laws, norms and paper files – is particularly affected.
