I International Congress

Risk, Responsability, and Trust in

                   Digital Society

The I International Congress “Riesgo, Responsabilidad y Confianza en la Sociedad Digital” (Risk, Responsibility, and Trust in Digital Society), will be hosted at La Nau building of the Universitat de València. Its purpose is to create a space for interdisciplinary reflection about the big legal challenges that digital transformation raises. In a context characterised by increasing automation, Artificial Intelligence development, and the expansion of digital environments, issues like risk management, allocation of responsibilities, and trust building are in the spotlight of the contemporary legal debate.

Organised by the University Institute of Patrimonial Law of the Universitat de València, and by the Private Law Department of the University of A Coruña, the congress will gather both national and international experts to analyse, from different perspectives, the impact of new technologies in Private Law. Through conferences, panel discussions, and academic activities, key issues will be addressed, such as business automation, cyber risks, digital identity, opacity of Artificial Intelligence systems, or the opportunities that digitalisation offer in fields like housing or dependency.

This meeting aims to study in more detail the theoretical analysis of these issues, as well as contributing to the formulation of legal solutions that respond effectively to the digital society challenges, thereby strengthening the pillars of safety, responsibility and trust that must sustain it.

I International Conference on Environmental Risks, Social Innovation and Digital Narratives (NatRiskComm)

16 - 18 november 2026

Life Sciences have become a strategic priority for European Union research within the framework of its 2030 agenda.

The I International Conference on Environmental Risks, Social Innovation and Digital Narratives (NatRiskComm) is aligned with one of the five key priorities of the European Research and Innovation Strategy: the environment, alongside Health, Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and the Bio-Based sector. Furthermore, the conference supports the objectives of the European Green Deal, which seeks to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, recognising that a healthier environment is essential to this goal. It is also fully aligned with the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This conference adopts an innovative approach to addressing environmental risks and ecosystem restoration through an interdisciplinary perspective that combines environmental science with innovative mechanisms for knowledge transfer. These include social innovation to promote citizen participation, as well as digital narratives related to sustainability to counter fake news, climate denial narratives, and greenwashing—issues that are also high priorities on the European agenda and are being addressed through several directives currently under development.

Consequently, the conference provides a forum for reflecting on major European and global challenges, particularly the green and digital transitions, both of which have significant social and economic impacts. It also aims to contribute to territorial governance and the sustainable management of natural resources within a model of economic development based on knowledge, promoting smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth, as set out in the RIS3 (Research and Innovation Smart Specialisation Strategy) of the Generalitat Valenciana, which is founded on the European Union's Europe 2020 Strategy.

The Neurolaw Research Group of the Universitat de València (GIN) (www.uv.es/neuroderecho) will organize its 1st International Congress of Neurolaw on “Legal Challenges Posed by Technological Innovations” on 26 and 27 November 2026 at the Rector Peset University Hall of Residence of the Universitat de València.

The programme of the 1st International Congress of Neurolaw, devoted to “Legal Challenges Posed by Technological Innovations”, will be structured into three three-hour sessions. Each session will include three keynote presentations (30 minutes each) and up to three selected papers (10 minutes each), which will be presented publicly. At the end of each session, an open discussion will take place on the presentations and papers.

11th REPS Congress
on 9, 10 and 11 June 2027 in Valencia

The sustainability of social policies constitutes one of the major challenges facing contemporary democracies. In a context shaped by demographic ageing, transformations in the labour market, the rise of artificial intelligence, persistent inequalities, migration movements, environmental crises, and new social demands, it is essential to reflect on how public policies are designed, governed, and implemented in order to guarantee citizens’ rights.

Under the theme “Governance and Sustainability of Social Policies: From Diagnosis to Democratic Action”, this 11th edition of the Congress of the Spanish Network for Social Policy focuses on the need to move beyond the analysis of social problems towards the construction of collective, effective, and democratically legitimised responses. The Congress aims to provide a space for academic, institutional, and professional dialogue to identify current challenges, analyse experiences and good practices in the multilevel governance of social policies, and develop proposals for action that promote and guarantee social cohesion, democratic quality, and the rights of all citizens in the face of new global challenges and transformations.
