Session II of the Aspen-ECFR Program on “European Technological Sovereignty: Human Values and Geopolitical Challenges”

 

Aspen Institute España is organizing, in collaboration with European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), a new program on “European Technological Sovereignty: Human Values and Geopolitical Challenges” with the help of Aspen Digital, Aspen Germany and Aspen UK.

The second session will be on “Market Power: Instruments, Strategy, Will” and will take place online on Wednesday, February 11 from 4:15 to 5:45 pm (CET).

As speakers for the second session, we will count with Carissa Véliz, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Philosophy and the Institute for Ethics in AI as well as Tutorial Fellow at Hertford College at the University of Oxford, and Mehreen Khan, Economics Editor of The Times.

The program consists of 3 online sessions, one a month, in January, February, and March. The sessions will be online with in English with around 30 participants. The speakers will share a few opening remarks, followed by a structured discussion among participants. The discussion will be held under the Chatham House Rule, followed by a paper highlighting the key insights while preserving confidentiality. The paper will then be presented at a final in-person session open to the public. The idea is to share the online sessions’ findings with a larger audience to increase the program’s reach.
