The media, human rights and digital literacy in the post-digital era

Sala Amerikana

The fourth industrial revolution is a significant opportunity to achieve sustainable progress for humanity and for the planet as a whole. But some innovations raise significant ethical issues relating to the use of personal data, freedom of expression and their contribution to sustainable development. Media and digital literacy are of vital importance in a time in which we are seeking to respond to social, economical and environmental opportunities and challenges, as well as to take active part in our societies.

Panelists:

  • Maja Zarić, Ministry of Culture and Information
  • Danilo Krivokapić, Director, Share Foundation
  • Marko Stanković, member of the Board of the National Youth Council of Serbia

Moderator: Bogdan Banjac, office of the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality

IT and entrepreneurs

Panelists:

  • Ivan Minić, serial entrepreneur, Chair of the RNIDS Board of Governors

Cyber-security and the human factor: awareness, education and competencies 

Sala Amerikana

If it’s digitalised, it can be hacked. The stakes are getting higher – for individuals, for companies and organisations and for society as a whole. And despite all the tools that are out there, people are still the weakest link. How aware is the Serbian public of the challenges of cyber-security? Are institutions, organisations and companies doing enough to raise awareness? Are we preparing the next generation to be a link that won’t break? Are we training up the cyber-security experts that the market needs so badly?

Panelists: 

  • Nebojša Jokić, Cyber-security Network
  • Dejan Đukić, Director of the Serbian National Internet Domain Registry Foundation (RNIDS)

Moderator: Milan Sekuloski, Cyber-security Network

The data economy and the public interest

Belgrade Youth Centre Club

Although the digital revolution has provided huge opportunities for political, social and economic exchange, it’s not all roses in the world of tech. There are huge differences of interest between Internet users and the providers of digital services. The task of this interactive session is to present new thinking about the economic value of online data and its use. How do we protect the data of the individual and the public interest at the same time? What initiatives or changes will this require?

Panelists:

  • Milica Jovanović, journalist
  • Nevena Ružić, Fund for an Open Society
  • Dr Paul Twomey, Global Solutions Fellow 

Moderator: Desiree Željka Milošević, Board Chair, ISOC.RS

Language of session: English

14:00 – 14:45
14:45 – 16:00

Sala Amerikana

The Chinese ‘Great Firewall’, the American ‘Clean Network’, the Russian unplugged Internet and the European Cloud Initiative. More and more nations are moving towards some form of digital sovereignty. But what does the concept even mean, and how sustainable is it? Can nations really reach the point where all the data of their citizens and entities are stored locally? How feasible is it to be independent of the global supply chain of IT services and components? Can international data routing be controlled? Is a ‘Splinternet’ possible – a fragmentation of the Internet into independent (and unconnected) regional or national networks? How realistic are these scenarios, especially in the light of growing global tensions? What good can they bring and what evils? And what are Serbia’s options?

Panelists:

  • Bernard Benhamou, Digital Institute for Sovereignty, France
  • Danko Jevtović, Board member, ICANN
  • Desiree Željka Milošević, Board Chair, ISOC.RS
  • Dr Jan Krasni, Technical University Berlin
