    Plenary 2: How are you doing in the digital age? Awareness, skills and ideas in politics and administration

    For Switzerland’s digital future, it is essential that decision-makers in politics and administration have an awareness of the social and technological dimension of the digitalisation as well as the necessary skills and ideas to confront those changes. The aim of this session is to boost the interest of politicians and members of the administration in fundamental questions of our digital age, to show how technology can be used in political processes and to discuss how the digital skills of politicians and civil servants can be further strengthened.

    Input: Alessia Neuroni (Bern University of Applied Sciences), Gerhard Andrey (Green National Council member and Liip)
    Moderation and Coordination: Florent Thouvenin (University of Zurich), Nicolas Zahn (Operation Libero)

    Plenary 3: Self-determination in the digital space

    What are the consequences of increasing data concentration and technical development for individuals and our fundamental values? Does informational self-determination exist today or are citizens increasingly losing control over their data? Should digital self- determination even exist and what could a truly self-determined data space look like in Switzerland?

    Input: Florent Thouvenin (University of Zurich), Roger Dubach (FDFA)
    Moderation: Anna Jobin (ETH Zurich)
    Coordination: Andrin Eichin (OFCOM)

    Wrap-up and adoption of the “Messages from Berne”

    The “Messages from Berne” summarise the main points of the sessions at the Swiss IGF 2020 in a concise and neutral form. They will then be presented to the Global UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) in order to feed into the discussions in these forums.
