As part of her PhD research, Mireia Paulo attended the “IAPP Europe Data Protection Congress 2024” in Brussels, Belgium, from November 20–21, 2024. This prestigious annual event, which gathers over 1,000 participants, is a cornerstone for professionals and experts in data protection, privacy, and cybersecurity. The conference provided a platform for in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as artificial intelligence, data governance, cybersecurity readiness, and privacy by design. Mireia benefitted from sessions led by high-profile speakers and panellists who addressed strategic developments in both regional and international data protection. The event emphasised practical operational guidance and compliance strategies tailored to EU regulations while integrating new technologies safely. Throughout the congress, Mireia engaged in networking with legal professionals, researchers, and policymakers, broadening her perspective on global and European data governance practices. Key discussions centered on: • Regulatory trends in adtech and AI technologies. • Strategies for implementing data governance frameworks. • Approaches to ensuring digital sovereignty and cross-border data flows. • Best practices for privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and data protection program globalisation. These sessions deepened Mireia’s understanding of the evolving European and global regulatory landscape. Moreover, the conference facilitated new connections with data protection professionals, contributing valuable insights for her PhD research on EU-China relations and data governance. The interdisciplinary nature of the event underscored the importance of cooperation across legal, technological, and academic domains, enriching Mireia’s research framework and reinforcing her dissertation’s relevance. |
