The EU-PAIR Conference 2025 theme is EU Digital Strategy: Governance, Innovation and Business
In the European Union, digital strategy is crucial in fostering an inclusive, responsible, and secure digital society. As digital technologies increasingly shape education, work, and civic participation, EU citizens must develop digital literacy, critical thinking, and online responsibility. The digital strategy ensures individuals and businesses can engage safely and ethically in the digital world, protecting their rights while combating misinformation, cyber threats, and digital exclusion. Through initiatives like the Digital Education Action Plan and European Digital Strategy, the EU promotes digital inclusion, empowering citizens with the skills needed for an interconnected, democratic, and innovative future.
Conference Focus: The conference will focus on exploring innovative strategies for fostering digital skills among diverse populations, including marginalized communities, online privacy, data protection, responsible digital behavior, cyberbullying, misinformation, and the ethical use of AI in education and business, understanding digital rights in the EU and global governance frameworks, promoting responsible digital citizenship through legal and policy initiatives, E-governance, digital activism, and civic participation in the EU.
