🎓 In June, students from the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS) attended our Festival as part of their course on “AI, Law, and Policy.” They engaged in sessions on important topics, such as integrating large language models in administration, fostering community collaboration in government initiatives, and examining the challenges and opportunities for the future of public service. ✍️ After the Festival, the students prepared detailed reports, offering critical reflections on the sessions and summarizing key takeaways. Their observations highlighted the potential of new technologies to improve public administration and inclusivity, while also emphasizing that sustainable transformation relies on collaboration, creativity, and empowerment. 📝 Find all 13 reports here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dwSvY3Sq #CBF25 #CreativeBureaucracyFestival #publicsector #bureaucracy #transformation #öffentlicherdienst #government #innovation
