Exploring digital policy: the geopolitics of privacy policy and improving regulation-making

0

This event will bring together a panel to cover key themes relating to digital policy and will also mark the launch of two publications linked to these themes.

The first part of the discussion will consider the geopolitics of privacy policy. Privacy policy can relate to information about the most personal and individual aspects of citizens’ lives and is a social value that is essential for human dignity, liberty and democracy. Yet, privacy policy has also become central to several international geopolitical and trade controversies, with potentially major economic and social consequences.

The panel will also discuss how regulation-making can be improved. As the Better Regulation agenda gains renewed focus in Brussels, we will consider the lessons that can be drawn from digital policy and digitalisation to improve regulation-making in the EU.

This event is part of a project led by the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA) in Dublin, Ireland, which brings together think tanks from across the EU to explore some key themes relating to European digital policy and is supported by Apple.

All in-person attendees are invited to join this event at the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) at 13:30 CET for lunch and refreshments.
