Europe's Green Digital Transformation

How can lawyers contribute to make Europe Green and Digital?

About ESG, Digital, ChatGPT, AI: opportunities or threats for the legal profession?

Green and digital transition are among the key priorities of the European Commission’s political agenda.

Digital technologies are an asset to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal.  However, they also pose a problem given the intense energy consumption that the applications also require. It is therefore important to reconcile both digital and sustainable transition.

The seminar prepared by the Incubator will reflect on the challenges posed by the “EU Digital Green Deal” not only as citizens but also as lawyers in our daily practice.
