Orientierung in der Digitalen Welt – Tagung rund um Google, TikTok & Co.

On the weekend of March 1 to 3, 2024, the Open Search Foundation and the Evangelische Akademie Tutzing are hosting a public conference on freedom of information on the Internet. The conference is being organized by Prof. Dr. Alexander Decker, Head of Marketing, Sales and Media (M.A.) and Vice Dean at the THI Business School.

A team from the "Common Grounds Forum" will contribute the views of young people: In the workshop debugging digitalization, students will carry out the 'reality check' for digital policy. The programme and the opportunity to register can be found on the website of the Evangelische Akademie. The conference is open to the public, no specialist knowledge is required.
