About the research Group
BSoG
Situated in the heart of Europe, the Brussels School of Governance (BSoG) strives to be a hub for interdisciplinary teaching and cutting-edge research. Our purpose is to understand and help tackle key societal dynamics and challenges. We focus on migration and diversity, the digital transformation of society, climate change and green transitions in the economy, as well as diplomacy, strategy and geopolitical competition. We educate open-minded students and connect to policymakers and societal actors interested in a research-informed understanding of Europe in a changing world.
Centre for Digitalisation, Democracy and Innovation
The Centre for Digitalisation, Democracy and Innovation (CD2I) conducts cutting-edge academic and policy-relevant research on the ongoing digital transformation of society. We critically examine the evolution of new modes of governance from an interdisciplinary perspective, specifically in terms of multistakeholder and democratic processes that involve private, public, and civil society actors, whilst paying attention to issues of power and participation.
Project description
We welcome MSCA proposals that intersect with one of our five research priorities.
This research priority focuses on how agency is negotiated in and through algorithms. We view online technologies as actors and spaces whom we shape and through whom we are shaped. Agency is understood at individual and group level. We are interested in practices of empowerment, afforded through technical architectures, norms, governance or concerted regulation of tech platforms.
