Work platforms have become an increasingly ubiquitous part of our daily lives, raising questions about employment law in more ways than one: are work platforms employers? Should platform workers be considered as employees? How should we view the role of algorithms in platform activity? How can we reconcile macro-economic opportunities with individual protection against risks?

Mobile operators around the world have begun rolling out 5G. The fifth generation of mobile services promises a significant increase in speed (up to 1 Gb/s) and reductions in latency, enabling the development of crucial applications such as autonomous vehicles and intelligent energy distribution. 5G should also pave the way for a greener Internet of Things.

In some countries, data centres already consume more electricity than households. In Ireland, for example, data centres consume more electricity than urban households. By 2028, with the emergence of generative AI, the electricity consumption of Irish DCs will exceed that of all the country's households. According to the European Commission, DC electricity consumption in the EU will increase by 28% between now and 2030, reaching 98.5 TWh.
General description
The Governance and Regulation Chair at the University Paris-Dauphine|PSL has two post-doctoral opening in digital economics / regulation of digital activities / economics of data-sharing.
Using rigorous scientific methods, Institutional and Organizational Economics focuses on the theoretical and empirical analysis of institutions, organizations and contracts, as well as on the conditions under which these devices evolve.
Over the years, Institutional and Organizational Economics Academy has continually built up a dense and wide network of researchers and students interested in this dynamic field.
The resilience of infrastructures is a key issue, as demonstrated by the bill on the resilience of critical infrastructures and the strengthening of cyber security tabled in mid-October. Infrastructures are exposed to increasing risks - natural, technological and man-made. Over and above the challenge of assessing investment needs to ensure resilience, the issue at stake is the financing of investments to ensure continuity of service and/or avoid the costs - both financial and human - associated with repairs following increasing climatic hazards.
This workshop will take stock of experience and build on the recent advances in the understanding of agile and anticipatory governance and frameworks for its implementation. It will explore how governments and industry can design and implement responsible innovation and develop relevant practices to deal with emerging technologies, whether linked to digital technologies, life sciences, or nanotechnologies.
Achieving the green transition will require the profound transformation of the water, energy, e-communications, and transportation sectors, which are typically highly resource intensive and have a significant environmental impact. Governments will need to find the appropriate tools and institutional frameworks to enable this transition.
