SUMMARY:INCA at the Presentation of KVS Preadviezen 2025
DESCRIPTION:On 1 December\, the public launch event of KVS Preadviezen 2025 will take place in The Hague. KVS Preadviezen is an annual collection of expert policy reports published by the KVS\, the oldest association of economists in the Netherlands. \nINCA member Inge Graef of Tilburg University will attend the event\, as she has contributed to this year’s edition with an article on dependence on Big Tech. \nEach year\, the KVS commissions scholarly reports (known in Dutch as preadviezen) on a specific theme\, aiming to bridge academic insights and policy recommendations. The central theme of this year’s publication is “Openness in Times of Geopolitical Fragmentation.” \nInge Graef contributed a chapter titled “How to Make the Netherlands Less Dependent on Big Tech.” Drawing on research conducted within the INCA project\, she reviews the legislation adopted by Europe in recent years to control the power of major technology companies and addresses what the Netherlands can do to reduce the dependence of government organisations\, businesses\, and citizens on Big Tech. \nDuring the event\, the INCA member will also participate in a panel discussion on issues related to Big Tech\, alongside other authors of the collection\, officials from the European Commission\, and members of the House of Representatives. The session will be moderated by Maartje Schulz and Robert Dur.

SUMMARY:INCA Final Conference: "INcrease Corporate political responsibility and Accountability"
DESCRIPTION:On 21–22 January\, the INCA Final Conference will take place in Brussels at the Emilia-Romagna Region Delegation. The event will bring together scholars\, policymakers\, and practitioners to present the results of three years of rigorous empirical research conducted across multiple European contexts by the INCA project. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of how Big Tech companies shape European society. \nAs the project approaches its conclusion in March 2026\, the INCA Final Conference offers a unique opportunity to consolidate and share the main insights generated on the political\, economic\, and social power of Big Tech and digital platforms\, and to discuss the implications of this power for European digital governance. \nThe programme features sessions exploring European citizens’ perceptions of digital platforms and the ways media narratives shape public understanding. It also examines the political influence of GAFAM corporations\, including lobbying\, regulatory engagement\, and the implementation of EU digital legislation. Labour relations in platform work will be addressed as well\, highlighting key findings on algorithmic management\, industrial relations\, and regulatory challenges. The event will conclude with discussions on how platform organisations can be improved\, covering alternative governance models\, codes of conduct\, and action-oriented research approaches. \nThe event will also host the launch of the Big Tech Watch Think Tank\, signalling INCA’s commitment to sustained critical engagement beyond the lifespan of the project. For more information about the Final Conference\, you can read the editorial written by the project coordinator\, Edoardo Mollona (University of Bologna)\, and Marco Palma (SUPSI)\, and consult the full programme attached below. \nSave the date!
