The effects of digitisation on the economy, politics and daily life have long been European. re:connecting Europe unifies re:publica Dublin and re:publica Thessaloniki, with our aim being to promote the development of a Europe-wide network of creative industries.This endeavour was made possible thanks to the support of the German Federal Foreign Office. At re:publica Berlin in May 2017, we launched the re:connecting Europe space as an idea forum for players and stakeholders from Dublin and Thessaloniki, followed by roundtables in both cities to involve the community. Within re:publica’s North-South axis, we want to do our part in establishing a platform for a networked digital society in Europe. We aim to bundle positive forces and create room for an active dialogue between and with the representatives of public interests, politics, science and society. We look forward to new perspectives on our networked world!

So join in the conversation: Dublin and Thessaloniki. And next year, from May 2-4 in Berlin!
