It needs to provide sound answers to the climate and sustainability-, security of supply-and competitiveness imperatives. The energy transition is one of Europe's agship projects. It reflects on the latest policy developments, such as the Clean Energy for All Europeans Package. This book provides guidance for the incoming policy makers at a European level.

(2020), Seeing Tourism Transformations in Europe through Algorithmic, Techno-Political and City-Regional Lenses, In Transforming Tourism: Regional Perspectives on a Global Phenomenon. In conclusion, this paper posits city-regional, bottom-up, and networked dynamics characterised by the GDPR as an opportunity to establish a new techno-political paradigm in tourism by overcoming data and algorithmic extractivist practices. The push of the city-regional resurgence beyond established nation-states could enable grassroots and institutional tourism initiatives to take the lead and coordinate a political response to achieve further sustainable, equitable, and, ultimately, democratic technological sovereignty in diverse localities through Europe. Against the backdrop of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU that has recently taken effect on, this paper argues that a new, transformative, tourism paradigm could emerge from the European political left. Thus, this paper explores why tourism in Europe requires new business and social models to neutralise this algorithmic disruption and modify the extractivist neoliberal logic in tourism to develop new, transformative, techno-political, bottom-up, and networked strategies stemming from the city-regional realm. These side-effects include gentrification, privatization of public space, inherent conflicts between visitors/tourists and residents/locals, environmental damage, and precarious working conditions, among others. With the pervasive proliferation of tourism services provided by big tech multinationals such as AirBnB and Uber and the rapid algorithmic disruption of the so-called “sharing economy” paradigm, several European cities and regions are seeking to mitigate the negative side-effects caused by “platform capitalism” in their neighborhoods and local communities. Nonetheless, research remains scant and the policy paradigm slightly out of date. Attempts have been made, for example, to identify which experimental tourism models would align with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In light of the recent ‘tourism-phobia’, there is a need to better understand how tourism could be transformed through new business and social models. and Boter, J., Digitranscope: The governance of digitally-transformed society, EUR 30590 EN, Publications Office of the European Union, Luxembourg, 2021, ISBN 978-92-76-30229-2 (online), doi:10.2760/503546 (online), JRC123362.

The use of digital twins, gaming, simulation, and synthetic data is just beginning but promises to change radically the relationships among all the stakeholders in governance of our society. The digital transformation, the rise of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things offer also new opportunities for new forms of policy design, implementation, and assessment providing more personalised support to those who need it and being more participative throughout the policy cycle. These findings contribute to the new policy orientation in Europe on technological and data sovereignty and the sharing of data for the public interest. We have explored the increasing awareness about the strategic importance of data and emerging governance models to distribute the value generated more equitably in society.
Data is a key resource in the digital economy, and control over the way it is generated, collected, aggregated, and value is extracted and distributed in society is crucial. We focused our attention on the governance of data as a key aspect to understand and shape the governance of society.
The project set out to explore during the period 2017-2020 the challenges and opportunities that the digital transformation is posing to the governance of society. This volume presents the key outcomes and research findings of the Digitranscope research project of the European Commission Joint Research Centre.
