Digital Sovereignty

Do you ever wonder who controls your digital world?

Think about it. Who actually controls the technology you use every day? Who decides which data is stored, where, and for what purpose?
And what happens if the rules differ depending on where you live or work?
These questions will shape the world you'll be working in as an IT professional. During the International Week at Fontys ICT, you will spend a week diving into the theme of digital sovereignty: what it means, why it matters and what it takes to do something about it.
