forum for exchanging knowledge and inspiring collaboration among various stakeholders, including scholars, citizens, industry professionals, government representatives, and members of non-profit organizations. The focus of the event is on fostering a discussion about the complexities and polyvocality of our current and future digital societies, emphasizing the importance of collective understanding and action.
At IDS2025, attendees will delve into how individuals, communities, and society collectively shape digital technologies, while also examining how these technologies influence critical societal domains such as health and well-being, education, media and culture, democracy and civic engagement, as well as work and organization. The conference will address the design, development, implementation, governance, and regulation of digital tools, highlighting their profound yet often invisible impacts on daily life. With the rapid advancements in technologies like big data, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, the conference seeks to highlight the dual nature of these developments—how they can empower some individuals while presenting challenges and widening gaps for others.
The discourse at IDS2025 will strive to move beyond simplistic binary frameworks of 'good' versus 'bad' technologies, acknowledging the existence of hybrid realities where digital and non-digital aspects intertwine. This complex intersection of technology and society is framed as a socio-technical system that demands careful consideration of both technical feasibility and social acceptability. Participants will be encouraged to envision a digital society that honors human values, integrates technology responsibly within our social fabric, and fosters a future that aligns harmoniously with our natural environment. The conference invites all who are passionate about shaping a more inclusive and equitable digital society to join in Leuven for this critical conversation.
