Invitation: Brinkhof Symposium | Elections in the digital age
On Wednesday 9 October 2024, the annual Internet Thesis Award Ceremony will take place at Brinkhof’s offices in Amsterdam. The prize will be awarded during a symposium dedicated to online risks for election processes and their legal implications – a hot topic in the big election year of 2024 (e.g. European Parliament elections, US presidential elections and national elections in various countries worldwide). During the symposium, a keynote speaker and expert panelists will give their views on this topic.
Some of the sub topics that will be discussed: disinformation & manipulation, political ads and micro targeting, the role of generative AI, content moderation, and the obligation of large online platforms to mitigate risks to election processes under new European regulations.
If you are interested in attending the event, please register here. The symposium is open to all students, lawyers, academics and other professional enthusiasts. For lawyers, attending the symposium can earn you 2 PO points.
