CIDS: Sustainable global economy – new ways of organizing for social progress

CIDS strives to understand the challenges and possibilities of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) from the perspective of sustainability. 

Welcome to a multidisciplinary one day conference on advancing ethical and sustainable global economy and the role of law in it.

The following questions operate as starting points for the upcoming discussions:
Are new organizations (e.g. DAOs) a way to reform the global economy & achieve social progress or justice? What is the role of entrepreneurship and/or law in global social progress?
