The role of iP in a new post crisis world

Global Digital Encounters

What is it?

For those participants who wish to dig deeper into the topics we analyse here at the Global Digital Encounters, we publish this list of readings connected to each Encounter’s topic, which can prove useful and could be read at any time before or after the Encounters take place.

These links are non-exhaustive, in the sense that Speakers and the Moderator cover a broader scope of topics connected to each Encounter’s topic, but they offer insights that may bring further reflections for the future.

We’re now pleased to present them all together here.

Enjoy!
