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.
Beschrijving van het project
We welcome MSCA proposals that intersect with one of our five research priorities.
In this research priority, we explore the intersection of digitalisation and sustainability through the lens of postcolonial and capitalist critique. The EU’s approach to the twinning of the digital and green transitions matters not only in the EU, but also in terms of the repercussions it has in other parts of the world that often bear disproportionate burden arising from climate change and the development of the digital economy. Furthermore, while digitalisation is often portrayed as an important tool in fighting climate change, the realities of its immense environmental footprint are less problematised. These global challenges require deeper understanding and possible reframing of debates and discourses around justice, competition and cooperation, or what is waste(ful) in a digital world. With this research line, our centre contributes to the VUB House of Sustainable Transitions.
