On July 26th and 27th, 2025, we invite you to participate in the 4th Tübingen Tage der digitalen Freiheit (Digital Freedom Days). This open Chaos community event is not just for nerds but for anyone interested in living a life of freedom and self-determination.

We are seeking inspiring talks and interactive workshops that provide tools for self-empowerment and promote a critical and creative approach to technology.

Whether you have an innovative idea, an ongoing project, or simply a story to share – we want to hear from you!

We look forward to your participation!

Guidelines

Please send us a meaningful description of your planned submission that is as complete as possible but not excessively long.

This description has a major influence on the selection and should be meaningful. Quality comes before quantity, of course. It is not advisable to submit company or product propaganda, not even hidden propaganda.

Also make sure to choose a title that is as short and meaningful as possible. For your title, please also use the language of your submission.

We would also like to keep the event open to people speaking no or just a little bit of German, so if you don't mind doing your submission in English without any effort and it makes sense for you, then feel free to choose that.

Submission Types

• Talks are scheduled for 20 (short) or 45 (long) minutes (+ 5 or 10 minutes of questions)
• Lightning Talks should not be longer than 5 minutes
• The standard length for workshops and meetups is 60 minutes

If necessary, a different time frame can be specified at the time of submission.

• Creativity & Beauty
• Ethics, Politics & Society
• Hardware & Code
• Digital Literacy & Empowerment
• Diversity & Awareness
• Sustainability & Climate Justice
• Science
• Community Meetups (Submission Type = Workshop)

You can enter proposals until 2025-06-29 23:59 (Europe/Berlin), 2 weeks from now.
