The Jon Bing Memorial Seminar is an annual event arranged by the Norwegian Research Center for Computers and Law/Senter for rettsinformatikk which Jon co-founded. The seminar is dedicated to honouring Jon as one of the leading pioneers in research on law and computer technology.
This year's seminar is dedicated to the theme of data protection law -- a topic in which Jon was always very interested and to which he made foundational contributions.
With the EU Court of Justice scheduled to issue a judgment a week concerning the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) over the coming year, consideration needs to be given to whether the current law is sufficiently clear, robust and appropriate. In this seminar, Ian Walden will examine the evolution of EU data protection law and reflect on whether significant reforms need to be made. Ian is Professor of Information and Communications Law at the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary, University of London, and former member of the European Commission’s Multistakeholder Expert Group to support the application of the GDPR (2017-2021).
Registration deadline: 21 May 13:00
There will be a social gathering with light refreshment after the presentation.
