The REMIT project aspires to Reignite Multilateralism via Technology. A reigniting that not only reacts to China’s rise as a systemic technology rival or Russia’s resurgence as a technology abuser or the dominance of large U.S.-based digital platforms, but that sets a clear vision for the future — one in which Europe plays a leading role.
REMIT aims to re-mobilise a transnational collective spirit that addresses global problems in four specific areas of technology: digital, health bio, security & defence, andfinance. By focusing on these areas of technology, the project will provide the needed analysis and the necessary theory building to support the EU in its future policy making.
Project duration:

To define the EU’s role in leading the renewal and defence of multilateralismstarting with the global governance of technologies in four crucial policy areas (digital, health bio, security and defence, and financial technologies).
To provide evidence-based advice to reinforce European institutions in the field of technology that work—that create transparent, ethical, and democracy-supporting standards—and propose innovative, multilateral-governance constructs for those that do not.
To develop policy recommendations and offer scenario testing workshops to relevant EU administrators, important regional groups, and national officials.
To share knowledge among stakeholders and to communicate policy recommendations. REMIT will recommend policy action for the European Union that further re-conceptualizes multilateralism in the four technology areas.
University of Tartu is the lead of a work package responsible for the project's communication and dissemination. Additionally, UT's researchers take part in a research work package titled "Normative construction of technology governance".
