Tech Policy, Ethics & AI Governance Events in Europe

European tech-policy and ethics events have grown into their own circuit, driven largely by the AI conversation and by the continent's unusually active relationship with tech regulation. This page covers the bigger conversations about technology rather than the hands-on building: AI governance, AI ethics, responsible-AI leadership, digital ethics, tech-in-society discussions, and the intersection of AI with education, law, and public institutions.

Most current events are AI-flavored: AI in education, AI and public-sector decision-making, AI ethics reading groups, book-club-style evenings, and university-hosted symposia. Formal regulatory briefings around the AI Act, NIS2, DSA/DMA, and related European frameworks show up when they happen, alongside broader digital-rights conferences like RightsCon and MozFest, but they're the minority here rather than the center of gravity.

Expect events across Ireland, Germany, Italy, France, the Nordics, and the Low Countries, often hosted by universities, research institutes, think tanks, or civil-society organizations. Brainberg aggregates this scene so the fragmented policy-and-ethics landscape shows up in one feed rather than scattered across institutional mailing lists.
