PIDfest 26

Our opening keynote, Felienne Hermans, will give an outside-in perspective on PIDs. She will discuss the DigID case (an identity management system for government organisations) and its potential acquisition by an American organisation, highlighting how digital sovereignty and trust are playing an increasingly critical role in this field.

Felienne is Professor of Computer Science Education at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and a computer science teacher at Open Schoolgemeenschap Bijlmer. At VU Amsterdam she teaches Computer Science Didactics and AI in Education, and conducts research on the accessibility of the digital world in the broadest sense.
