"Governing Cross Border Data Flows and Sustainable Development" - 10 November 2020 (online event)
Business from around the world are leveraging data-driven digital technology to participate in global markets. The free flow of data across borders - and the government policies that enable data flows - underpins such cross border trade, and provides benefit to a myriad of connected stakeholders.
despite this, undue restrictions on data flows, are threatening the balkanisation of the internet, which is likely to hamper competition and innovation, dent economic growth, and infringe upon fundamental rights of consumers.
In light of this, the proposed workshop session would bring in experts from different stakeholder groups to shed light on pertinent concerns regarding cross border data flows.
Furthermore, it would suggest a way forward to create greater trust and digital cooperation to achieve sustainable development goals of promoting sustained economic growth, fostering innovation, promote productive employment and improving trade.

Social Cohesion Week - 9-12 November 2020 (online event)
The goal of this series of online events is to bring together different perspectives and insights on the expanding research and policy agenda on social cohesion. Social cohesion has been receiving increasing attention not only in policy circles but also in academic discussions in recent years. Political polarization, nationalist movements, and not least the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic have amplified the relevance of social cohesion. On the one hand, crises like these threaten the very cohesiveness of societies. On the other hand, an initial lack of social cohesion can also decisively increase the vulnerability of societies to such crises. Against this background, many governments, civil society and international organizations underline the importance of social cohesion. Still, many questions remain unanswered: What do we mean precisely when talking about social cohesion? How do we measure it? What drives social cohesion? What leverage does development cooperation have in this area? We invite you to discuss these and other pertinent questions with us during the Social Cohesion Week.
