Data Privacy and the Transatlantic Relationship

Monday, November 02, 2015, 4:30 PM – Friday, July 24, 2015, 6:30 PM

-

Personal data are critical to almost every aspect of modern society, including commerce, economic prosperity, technological innovation, national security, and international trade. Protecting those data has become more important and more difficult in a world of “big data,” and that difficulty is exacerbated by differences between United States and European approaches to data protection. As the European Union and the United States consider important changes to their data protection laws, the IU Europe Gateway inaugural event brings together two thought leaders in this field for a frank, informal, and thoughtful discussion of one of the pressing sets of issues that profoundly affects Germany, the European Union, the United States, and the transatlantic relationship: how to protect personal data responsibly and efficiently, and without undermining the benefits that its responsible use may bring.

A reception will follow the panel discussion at 6 p.m. This is an open event but requires registration as space is limited. I you wish to attend please follow this link to register. For more information please contact Prof. Hannah Buxbaum, Academic Director, IU Europe Gateway at hbuxbaum@indiana.edu
