  • Profile

    Linda Weigl is a political scientist, policy scholar, and postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Information Law (IViR). Her research focuses on the political economy of digital trust and risk.

    At IViR, Linda is part of the Trust Research Priority Area, which studies the evolution of trust in response to algorithmic technologies, and explores the potential disruptions to existing trust relationships, as well as emerging risks that come with it. Her research aims to provide insights into institutional safeguards and limitations of trust and trustworthiness in the context of techno-political infrastructures, such as decentralized transaction protocols, digital identity management systems, and online platforms. Furthermore, she investigates the extent to which technology-centric solutions of said infrastructures can be reconciled with democratic criteria and public values.
