“全球数字平等倡议”在乌镇发布

近日，由浙江大学倡议、海内外20余家单位联合发起的“全球数字平等”国际学科联盟在乌镇正式启动。联盟面向世界发布“全球数字平等倡议”。倡议内容如下：

全球数字平等倡议

数字传播技术在全球范围的拓张与更迭使人类社会步入数字化时代。数字技术一方面促进了产业升级、经济发展、公共服务和文化交流，另一方面也引发了不同国家、地区、阶层、种族和个体之间在数字时代的不均衡发展。数字鸿沟、数据滥用、虚假信息、数字垃圾、平台垄断、治理困境、公平赤字等问题已经成为全球社会共同关心的核心议题。“全球数字平等”国际学科联盟以“数字平等”为核心要义，旨在推动各学科相关研究领域的学术机构与学者间的对话合作，以学术研究为出发点，深刻剖析全球数字经济社会发展中面临的不平等问题，推进全球学界与政府、产业及全球公共社会的交流互助，推进全球数字社会的公平正义，助力全球可持续发展。

构建全球数字平等国际学科联盟，推进全球数字善治，需要各方携手努力、共同推进。为此，浙江大学联合海内外20余家单位倡议：

一、协调全球数字平等研究，推进学术资源共享

以学科联盟合作单位为主体，实现以全球数字平等为目标的学术研究资源与数据共享，形成关键指标并建立数据动态更新与监测机制，为全球社会实现数字经济的可持续发展与数字社会的公平有效治理提供数据支撑。

二、建立全球学术对话机制，增进学术交流共识

发挥学科联盟参与单位的全球影响力，举办以全球数字平等为主题的年度高端论坛，邀请具有全球影响力的政府、产业与学界人士，针对数字治理与数字平等领域的核心议题展开交流讨论，形成共识。

三、凝聚全球学术研究力量，服务全球社会治理

以数据库与高端论坛的建设成果为依托，以学科联盟的全球领军学者为主体，围绕全球数字平等议题发布年度研究报告，整合全球范围内该领域的重大研究成果，为增进全球数字平等提供决策参考。

四、 培育全球青年学术人才，助力文化传承创新

定期举办暑期学校与青年论坛，汇聚一大批优秀青年学者，促进数字平等研究领域的传承与创新，培养具备历史眼光、全球视野、人文关怀的青年人才，以积极、年轻、向上的姿态直面困境，化解困局。

五、提升全球公民数字素养，创造幸福数字生活

通过公益讲座、培训、节展、影视、游戏等多重形式，推进公众数字素养教育，帮助公众学习数字知识，增强数字技能，遵循数字伦理，规范数字行为，营造公平正义、理性和谐的全球数字社会。

Global Digital Equality Initiative

The expansion and transformation of digital communication technologies across the globe have created a new digital world. Digital technologies have profoundly contributed to industry and economy, as well as public service and communication, yet they have also brought confrontations and inequalities among nations, regions, races, and individuals. The issues of digital divide, data abuse, misinformation, digital waste, platform monopoly, and digital governance all demonstrate the cruciality of advancing global digital equality in today’s world. The mission of International Union for Digital Equality Studies (IUDES) is to promote academic research and collaboration addressing various forms of inequalities in the global digital economies and societies. From an international and interdisciplinary perspective, we aim to facilitate dialogue between academics, industries and governments, contributing to the justice and sustainability in the global digital societies.

In support of this objective, Zhejiang University and 20 other institutions around the world propose a global digital equality initiative, which includes the following aspects.

Share academic resource

With the IUDES, we want to facilitate the sharing of academic resources in digital (in)equality studies. We will develop a dynamic index, mapping global inequalities and providing data and insights for equal and effective governance of the global digital society.

Facilitate intellectual dialogue

The IUDES will provide a global network for academic institutions and researchers around the world to collaborate on research. We will organize annual conferences under themes related to digital equality, and invite scholars, and professionals from NGOs, governments and industries to have dialogues on core issues in digital (in)equality studies.

Serve global governance

The IUDES will publish annual report on global digital equality studies to map key developments in the field. This, together with our conference and index, will not only benefit researchers, but also provide insights for police makers and industrial professionals around the world.

Cultivate future generations

Early career scholars are the future of global digital (in)equality studies. It is crucial for the IUDES to provide support and training for junior scholars. We will organize summer schools and workshops as a stage for early career researchers to network and publicize their work.

Enhance public literacy

The IUDES will collaborate with institutions across the world to organize public lectures, trainings, exhibitions, screenings, and games in local communities, to improve digital literacy among various populations.
