AI Governance for the Agent Era

22 April 2026 | 14:00 – 17:00 & Networking | Czech Academy of Sciences, Národní 3, Prague

This highly practical workshop will focus on the next shift in AI: systems that don’t just generate outputs, but take actions and make decisions in real environments. Bringing together legal, ethics, policy, and technical experts, the workshop will examine how to govern agentic AI responsibly. We will mainly explore the following issues:

accountability across providers and deployers,
autonomy and human oversight, and
designing auditable controls for safety, security, and compliance.

Participation is subject to registration and will be open in March 2026. The capacity is limited to 50 people.

Quantum Computing and the Future of Digital Trust

10 November 2026 | 14:00 – 16:00 | Czech Academy of Sciences, Národní 3, Prague

This workshop builds directly on our 2025 workshop by moving from mapping risks to discussing what practical governance should look like as quantum capabilities mature. We will revisit the core pressure points – privacy, cybersecurity, intellectual property, democratic resilience, and responsibility for high-impact outcomes – but with a forward-looking emphasis on regulatory preparedness, compliance tools, and institutional coordination. A dedicated segment will focus on convergence with AI. The goal of the workshop is to translate the ongoing discussions into actionable legal and ethical pathways that strengthen trust and accountability in the next phase of quantum innovation.

Participation is subject to registration and will be open in October 2026.
