10th GIG-ARTS CONFERENCE
DUBLIN 2026

The upcoming edition focuses on the theme:
“Digital Futures, Sustainable Freedoms: Rights, Responsibilities, and Governance.

14-15 May 2026
Dublin City University, Ireland

Call for papers is open!

The 10th GIG-ARTS Conference seeks to foster a multi-disciplinary discussion regarding the intersections of digital development, environmental concerns, and transnational governance. We encourage contributions that resonate with both theoretical and practical perspectives, gathering insights from fields including law, political science, communication, policy studies, economics, technology studies, environmental research, and beyond.

Participants are invited to examine the inconsistencies and synergies that arise between technological innovation, human rights, and environmental responsibility, and to develop governance approaches that can integrate digital rights with sustainable futures.
