More than 20 speakers will discuss cybersecurity at the 2017 China-EU School of Law conference.

Big data, big problems? At the 2017 China-EU School of Law Academic Conference “Personal Data Protection in Times of Big Data” in Beijing on 3 November 2017, legal scholars and entrepreneurs from China and Europe will examine the legal challenges massive data collection poses to the protection of personal data. In speeches and panels, they will ask questions such as: Who owns collected data? How safe are databases? How can personal data be protected? What data can be analysed? Which legal framework can regulate this? China’s 2017 Cybersecurity Law and the EU’s 2018 General Data Protection Regulation play a key role in this debate.

Zhang Fusen, Former Minister of Justice of the People’s Republic of China, Hinrich Julius, Professor of Law and Project Coordinator of the China-EU School of Law Consortium Office are slated to open the conference. The conferece will start at 9 a.m., it will end at 5 p.m.. Conference venue is the Jingyi Hotel, No. 9 Dazhongsi East Road, Hai Dian District, in Beijing. Registration is required for participation in the conference. To register, please send an e-mail to Ms Malin Späth, Coordination Research and Training: malin.spaeth"AT"jura.uni-hamburg.de.
