This Staff Week offers a space for in-depth discussion on the impact of digitalisation on human rights, with a particular focus on the Euro-Mediterranean region and the role of universities in shaping human-centred digital futures.

Participants will explore how digital transformation is reshaping societies, rights, and institutions, and how higher education can actively contribute to a more just, inclusive, and resilient digital world.
