How to guide the Metaverse?

Developments around the Metaverse are early and still largely open. This offers a unique opportunity to guide the developments in a way that can be safeguarded as socially public values. 

It is important to start the dialogue about this early. After all, immersive technologies potentially involve far-reaching economic and legal effects, fundamentally changing social relationships, but also personal physical and psychological consequences. This session addresses the question of how best to shape this dialogue.
