The Digital Enlightenment Forum (DEF) is a not-for-profit association that organises and provides leadership in exchanges between representatives of science, technology, policy, law and society. Its leadership is based on a holistic approach to a free, secure and trustworthy society that respects the essential values which evolved during the Enlightenment period. DEF proposes principles, policy recommendations and activities at technical, legal, societal and market levels for the development of the digital society, whilst ensuring democracy, human rights and freedom – including privacy for its members – as well as transparency and accountability. It seeks to introduce actions addressing the specific societal difficulties related to generational gaps in technical skills and knowledge.
