The Centre for Digital Governance is a gateway to governance of digital transformation based in Berlin.
We aim to promote digitalisation where appropriate to improve public well-being. To this end, the Centre enables and supports synergies between rigorous academic research, world-leading education and socially relevant policy insights on the challenges and opportunities of the digital era.
Our research focuses on three areas: First, we study how bureaucracies deal with digital transformation as well as how governments can adapt new technologies to improve policy making. Second, we focus on social media governance and regulation, studying and understanding the spread of hate speech through social media. Third, we look at artificial intelligence and human development, working on ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) is transparent and promotes accountability.
