From 8 to 30 November 2021, the French Embassy in Belgium, the FPS BOSA, AI4Belgium and their partners will hold a series of conferences called "Homo Numericus" and intended to strengthen bilateral exchanges on digitalisation.
No fewer than seven exciting and fully accessible debates will take place from 8 to 30 November! The programme will examine the way in which digital technology is influencing our contemporary societies and transforming our relationship to education, work, politics and culture.
It will also include new media, virtual and augmented reality, artificial intelligence and the creative industries, advances in e-health, food traceability, citizen participation and the use of digital tools for the common good, e-gaming and e-sports.
What about our individual autonomy and European sovereignty in the face of US or Chinese players? What technical and non-technical skills are needed to evolve in the 21st century? What place do women have in the digital world?
A number of discussions between Belgian and French experts and political personalities will take place, at a level accessible to all and where everyone can also ask questions!
Homo Numericus is organised under the patronage of Secretaries of State Mathieu Michel and Cedric O.
