Practicum session II - Navigating disruptive technologies: policy challenges and stakeholder engagement in building regional frameworks
Tuesday July 9, 2024 16:30 - 18:00 UTC
Room 1
This year's practicum will provide participants with a hands-on opportunity to explore the policy challenges posed by disruptive technologies and engage in stakeholder collaboration to build a multistakeholder regional policy framework addressing these technologies. The session will begin with an overview of the practicum schedule and tasks, ensuring that all participants understand the objectives and structure of the activities. This will be followed by a detailed explanation of the roles available, after which participants will have the chance to sign up for the roles that best match their interests and expertise.

Participants will then be divided into groups for break-out sessions, where they will work collaboratively on specific assignments. Each group will tackle different aspects of the policy challenges presented by disruptive technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things. The goal is to foster a deep understanding of how these technologies impact society, economy, and governance in the region, and to develop comprehensive policy recommendations.

Throughout the practicum, participants will engage with various stakeholders, including government representatives, industry experts, civil society advocates, and academic researchers. This multistakeholder approach will help ensure that the policy frameworks developed are inclusive, balanced, and reflective of diverse perspectives. By the end of the practicum, participants will have gained valuable experience in policy development, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative problem-solving, equipping them with the skills needed to address the complex challenges of disruptive technologies in their professional roles.
