Principal Investigator, Mareile Kaufmann, has recently participated in a variety of talks focusing on the digitization of DNA. Through this, the project has been able to both learn from stakeholders and transfer its knowledge to different academic and professional audiences. The recent discussions have touched upon issues relating to digital technologies in law enforcement, the digitization of security, and the use of DNA in forensic sciences. Kaufmann was, amongst other things, invited in to the Digital Policing group at the event Norway’s critique of Tech Giants which aimed at creating new solutions for increasing awareness about Tech Giants’ power abuses. The debate consisted of workshops for competence sharing and networking between different private and public organizations and other key agencies. Other Digital DNA talks included those at a seminar of the Norwegian Crime Investigation Service & Nordic Police Departments for the protection of exposed individuals, at the University of Stockholm, at The Norwegian Research School on Digitalization, Culture and Society and the International Studies Association Annual Convention.
