The digital and green transformations are reshaping the foundations of contemporary governance. The emergence of artificial intelligence, advanced data systems, automation, and digital infrastructures is changing how states design policies, deliver public services, regulate societies, and interact with citizens. At the same time, the transition toward a sustainable and climate-neutral economy requires new governance capacities, innovative institutional arrangements, and coordinated responses across public and private sectors.
This Open Panel examines how the twin transition is redefining the relationship between technology, governance, and sustainability. It explores critical questions surrounding the opportunities and challenges created by the digitalization of governance, the integration of artificial intelligence into decision-making processes, and the development of new standards for effective, transparent, and accountable public administration.
The panel welcomes contributions addressing emerging models of digital governance, AI-enabled policymaking, smart public institutions, regulatory innovation, data-driven administration, sustainable economic transformation, and the political implications of technological change. It particularly encourages interdisciplinary approaches that connect political science, public policy, technology studies, environmental governance, and innovation research.
By investigating the interaction between digital transformation and ecological transition, the panel seeks to advance understanding of how governments can adapt to a rapidly changing environment while ensuring democratic legitimacy, social inclusion, and sustainable development in the future.
