Für D64 nehmen Mitglieder und Geschäftsstelle teil und vernetzen sich mit Aktivist:innen aus ganz Europa.</p><p>Inhaltlich geht es um europäische Digitalpolitik, die politische Lage in den Nationalstaaten der Teilnehmer:innen und Inhalte, wie den European Health Data Space, eIDs, Smartphone-Tracker, KI und Privatsphäre und den Digital Gap. Daneben bleibt viel Raum für Austausch, Netzwerken und Skillshares.</p>
