The program includes a unique one-day event with data workers ^inside a data center^, discussions that stretch across disciplines and countries, and moments to reflect on the politics of digital work in its many forms. Beyond the academic sessions, we have booked some of the University of Bologna’s most historic venues and will explore the city through the lens of its activist movements in a dedicated evening tour.
