The panel is meant to be interdisciplinary.

  • Call for abstracts: `Tokenization and Digital Twins', Zug Institute for Blockchain Research (ZIBR) Masterclass in Ethics & Philosophy, March 18-19, 2026, University of Lucerne (deadline 11 January 2026)

    Tokenization refers to the process of converting rights or assets—such as property, identity, or data—into digital tokens that can be stored, transferred, and verified, often on blockchain or other decentralized systems.

     Digital twins are dynamic, data-driven models of physical entities or processes, enabling real-time simulation and interaction.

    These developments raise several philosophical questions for further research, including:

    • (How) do tokenized representations reconfigure what it means to own or claim something?

    • Who holds entitlements over relevant data, models, and tokens?

    • (How) does tokenization commodify relationships and identities? (How) does it redistribute power and responsibility?

    To apply for participation, submit a max. 500-word abstract of your envisioned research/work-in-progress presentation, prepared for blind-review, to patrik.hummel@unilu.ch. Limited funds are available to support travel and accommodation for successful applicants.
