The DGH – Competence Hub on Digital Governance in Crisis Affected Regions

The Competence Hub on Digital Governance, based at ULIDE, is a five-year initiative designed to strengthen ethical, legal, and operational governance capacities for digital transformation in humanitarian and crisis-affected contexts. At a time when humanitarian actors increasingly rely on data-driven systems, digital platforms, and AI-supported decision-making, the Hub addresses a critical gap: the lack of robust governance frameworks that ensure these technologies are effective, rights-aware, and context-sensitive.

As a transversal hub, ULIDE bridges disciplines, fosters collaborative research, and forms alliances with digital ethics organizations worldwide. This collective expertise is shared with the public in various ways.

Working areas

ULIDE is currently in its development phase. Its interdisciplinary core team represents five areas of expertise:

  • Digital Ethics (Human Agency versus Machine Agency, Ethical Trade-offs)
  • Digital Law and Regulation (Accountability, Equality)
  • Digital Democracy (Participation, Social Media and Public Sphere, Populism and Polarization)
  • Digital Culture (Artificial Intelligence, Human Autonomy)
