“Hands on Media” creates a space for this: In regular, interactive workshops, experts and media professionals provide insights into the latest tools, topics, and technologies and work with participants to explore specific use cases.

Issue #1: “Digital Sovereignty – European Software & AI Alternatives” (Online)
To kick things off, we’ll be taking a practical look at digital sovereignty in our day-to-day work with Simon Sturzenegger, Head of Creative Technology at MTH. After all, it’s not uncommon for us to work on platforms—from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace—where we cede control over data, infrastructure, and processing to U.S.-based platforms.
Together, we’ll examine common dependencies within your tool ecosystem and identify concrete ways to regain greater control over data, collaboration, and AI applications.
What you can expect …
- Overview on European software alternatives
- Real-world examples of Nextcloud as a collaborative hub
- Live insights into the use of large language models (LLMs)
- Guidance on requirements and the first steps in setup
