The unit is currently participating in the European Dialogue on Internet Governance (EuroDIG) of 2025, held from 12 to 14 May in Strasbourg, France. Morten Meyerhoff Nielsen is digitally representing UNU-EGOV as part of the Dynamic Coalition on Digital Inclusion & Gender Equality, focusing specifically on frontier technologies and digital public goods.
During his intervention earlier today, Morten highlighted the necessity for improved geographical and socio-economic data. He argued that enhanced segmentation of data would enable the creation of targeted and impactful digital inclusion initiatives. These insights align closely with the recommendations from the recent T20 policy brief (Access it on our Collections at UNU), advocating for demand-side data to better shape public sector technology strategies.
Additionally, Morten emphasised the importance of adopting user-centric online service design standards. Such standards can significantly reduce barriers to accessing public and private digital services, thereby fostering broader digital inclusion.
