Canada-Europe Track 1.5: emerging technology and cyber policy

On 19 February, the EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), Global Affairs Canada, the European External Action Service (EEAS) and the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) hosted the workshop ‘Emerging Technology and Cyber Policy’ in Brussels. The panellists discussed how emerging technology is impacting international peace and security and how Canada and the EU can further cooperate to advance mutual interests in this domain.

Experts from academia, think tanks and the private sector explored the interlinkages between international law, ethics and norms, and foreign policy in the age of disrupting technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, Internet of Things and smart cities.
