Digital sovereignty has taken centre stage in recent debates on digital technologies as a result of the development of these technologies and the realisation that the resources needed for this development are scarce and their control allows states to assume a position of hegemony over others. Control of data, semiconductor technologies and programming, among others, is increasingly decisive for a state's sovereignty.
The project aims to (i) investigate the strategies that states and associations of states are outlining with a view to guaranteeing their digital sovereignty, including data sovereignty and technological sovereignty; (ii) identify the legal framework that is being outlined in this regard; and (iii) point out possible political and legislative ways forward in this area.

The researchers will hold regular meetings and, on two occasions, events will be held to disseminate knowledge, involving the community in order to present the work carried out and collect contributions. The results of the research should be compiled into a collective work and published by an international publisher.
