Case Studies
On each day of the workshop, participants will be invited to explore a case study in a multi-disciplinary team. The case studies are designed to help participants illuminate possible challenges and opportunities for technology and technology policy in an uncertain future — with the aim of fostering future collaborations. We will also prepare joint publications from the workshops, including all participants as co-authors.
