Learning Coffee | Debate, English

Vilnius University and the European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity, Maastricht University, join forces and organize in partnership a debate on “What is the Price of your Privacy?”.

Your behaviour is analysed by every online purchase, every search on Google or transaction with your credit card. Companies continuously collect data with every click you make and every cookie that you accept. What do they do with these data? Is access to the location of your phone really needed for the application you want to use? The line of privacy can easily be crossed. In today’s world, everybody faces a trade-off between privacy and convenience.

In this debate we are going to discuss about governance surveillance, data breaches, the role and responsibilities of companies, technological developments, the good side of data collection and data science, the entering into force of the GDPR and more...

This joint event also marks the start of a promising alliance between Vilnius University and Maastricht University focusing on joint research as well as executive education in the field of Data Protection and Privacy for the Baltic region.

We look forward to meeting you!

The Learning Coffee debate is a meeting place for experts, researchers and students. Everyone in the audience can go into debate with the panel and exchange views and ideas.
