2022 EXPERT PANELS

In the lead up to the Symposium (September 21-23 2022), GARI and its partners will convene 3 interdisciplinary Expert Panels, starting with the Programme Expert Panel (April 2021) with experts on each of the conference programme strands (see below). This will be followed by the Technology Panel (June 2021) which will discuss how the ideas from the first panel might be operationalized. The final Joint Expert Panel (September 2021) will discuss how technology and foresight analysis could ideally be leveraged to enhance capabilities and opportunities in their area of focus. Each Expert Panel will then produce a short report based on a set of guiding questions (see below) that will be circulated to speakers and participants as well as targeted policymakers, industry stakeholders, academics and civil society partners prior to the N100 symposium.

The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank whose peer-reviewed research and trusted analysis influence policy makers to innovate. Our global network of multidisciplinary researchers and strategic partnerships provide policy solutions for the digital era with one goal: to improve people’s lives everywhere.

Freedom, justice and solidarity are the guiding principles of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS). The N100 partner will be the Czech and Slovak offices of KAS. KAS is a political foundation that is close to the German Christian Democratic Union (CDU). As co-founder of the CDU and the first German Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967) united Christian-social, conservative and liberal traditions. Its name is a symbol of Germany's democratic renewal, its foreign policy anchorage in the transatlantic community of values, its vision of European unification and its orientation towards a social market economy.
