Digital Humanism Conference
The first Digital Humanism Conference will take place from May 26 to 28, 2025, in Vienna, focusing on the theme “Shaping our digital future.” The event will gather global thinkers, innovators, and policymakers to discuss the potential of Digital Humanism and its impact on society. It aims to address the profound transformation of societies through information technology, particularly artificial intelligence, and to explore ways to advance democracy, human rights, diversity, and environmental sustainability in the digital age. The conference will serve as a key international forum under the patronage of Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen, fostering discussions on integrating digital developments with democratic values and the common good.
Martina Lindorfer and Matteo Maffei will participate in the panel “Cybersecurity in New Times”, scheduled for May 27. At the presentation of the conference, Martina underscored the critical role of technical expertise in addressing today’s socio-political challenges. Issues like IT security, data protection, and algorithmic fairness are no longer niche topics — they influence nearly every aspect of daily life, from education and elections to communication and healthcare. This conference serves as a platform to bring together the expertise needed to shape informed, responsible, and sustainable solutions for the digital era.
