Dear NoC colleagues, We are pleased to share our new Policy Brief, “Inverting the Brussels Effect: What the EU Can Learn from Latin America in Digital Governance.” The brief shows that digital governance is no longer a one-way “Brussels Effect.” Experiences from Latin America and the Caribbean—ranging from regulatory sandboxes in Brazil and Colombia to Uruguay’s Plan Ceibal—highlight adaptive, community-driven approaches that Europe can learn from, while LAC benefits from the EU’s institutional maturity. Key insights: * The Brussels Effect is reshaped in practice. * Adaptive, context-sensitive governance complements EU models. * Communities drive digital inclusion and innovation. * Foundational challenges must be addressed alongside frontier tech. * EU–LAC mutual learning is the path forward. The brief is part of HEMISPHERES, a project supported by the European Commission, and was developed in collaboration with the TUM Think Tank and the NoC Secretariat. Special thanks go to Armando Guio for his contributions. Read the full Policy Brief here: (link<https://tumthinktank.de/output/inverting-the-brussels-effect-what-the-eu-can...>). We look forward to continuing to share with the Network the latest HEMISPHERES developments in the months ahead. Also, you can find further information about HEMISPHERES on our website (link<https://hemispheres.digital/>) and on our LinkedIn (link<https://de.linkedin.com/company/hemispheres-eu-latam-2024>). We invite you to stay attentive to our upcoming publications, which will be shared soon. With kind regards, -- Pablo Gómez Ayerbe, M.A. Project Coordinator – HEMISPHERES TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology Technical University of Munich (TUM)
