Interdisciplinary workshop organised by the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 294 "Structural Change of Property", featuring Tilo Wesche and Simon Gurisch (both from the SFB and the University of Oldenburg), amongst others, as well as a keynote address by Katharina Pistor (Columbia University)

Information from the organisers

This interdisciplinary workshop explores the changing nature of democracy and ownership in the digital age. Platform economies, social media and artificial intelligence are altering the processes by which opinions and decisions are formed, demonstrate an extreme concentration of power and ownership, and raise new questions regarding authorship and intellectual property. 

 Registration by 1 December 2026 via email: karoline.hohmann@uni-erfurt.de

Information on the semester focus of the Collaborative Research Centre (SFB) 294 "Structural Change of Property"

Democracies around the world are under pressure: we are witnessing the rise of far-right forces, the concentration of wealth and economic power, attacks on workplace democracy, and growing social inequality, which leads to unequal political participation.  At the same time, digitalisation, artificial intelligence and environmental crises are raising new questions at the intersection of democracy and ownership structures.
