EUDHIT: Shaping Europe’s Digital Future Through Human-Centric Innovation

The European Digital Humanism Initiative (EUDHIT) supports Europe’s transition towards more resilient, inclusive, and democratic societies, rooted in the principles of Digital Humanism. The initiative promotes responsible innovation, helping start-ups, businesses, and other organisations develop IT systems that respect human values, fundamental rights, and individual autonomy. It also guides investments towards technologies that advance social progress.

EUDHIT builds on the foundations of the EU Digital Decade programme and contributes to the realisation of the EU Declaration on Digital Rights and Principles, ensuring that Europe’s digital transformation serves people, society, and democracy.

EUDHIT focuses on expanding networks that support a human-centric digital transformation, bringing together expertise, concrete standards, and actionable frameworks to foster cooperation across disciplines and sectors. At the same time, the initiative provides policymakers with practical tools to create conditions that promote digital humanism and enable societies to prosper from available knowledge and technological innovation.

To achieve these goals, EUDHIT brings together leading experts from ICT, sociology, economics, law, ethics, anthropology, business, and innovation studies, working collaboratively to address key issues in the field of digital humanism.

KInIT plays a key role in advancing EUDHIT’s mission by fostering awareness, building networks, and supporting the practical application of digital humanism principles. To be exact, KInIT contributes to the EUDHIT project in two main areas:

Raising Awareness through performing training on Digital Humanism
KInIT leads efforts to raise awareness through training activities focused on Digital Humanism. This includes organising symposia to open the discussion on building a more human-centred digital world to broader audiences. Events will take place both online and in person, engaging experts from within and outside the EUDHIT consortium.

Supporting Human-Centric Innovation through meetups and networking events
KInIT organises networking events and meetups designed to support SMEs, start-ups, and other industry stakeholders in developing trustworthy, human-centred digital solutions with the aim of supporting positive examples to other industry stakeholders and the public. These events provide a platform for sharing experiences, discussing challenges and opportunities, while fostering connections between businesses, Digital Humanism experts, and the wider public.

Through these activities, KInIT actively contributes to the coordinated European effort to ensure that technology remains human-centric, strengthens democracy, upholds fundamental rights, and is in alignment with European values.
