Following the success of last year's online conferences (available on Youtube), CEIPI is pleased to launch a new series of conferences entitled "The IP ecosystem: challenges and opportunities". This space for reflection and debate aims at gathering the stakeholders of the vast IP ecosystem, of which CEIPI is also part, and giving them the floor. In this perspective, CEIPI will have the honour to welcome specialists from all sectors related to intellectual property, both from France and abroad, with whom CEIPI has strong collaboration links.
In this context, we invite you to the launching conference entitled "Data: Europe's big business" which will be held online on Tuesday 30 March 2021 at 6 pm.
On this occasion, we will be honoured to welcome representatives of the Institute for Digital Fundamental Rights (IDFrights), which aims to advance research on data governance.
Speakers:
- Colette Bouckaert, Lawyer, General Delegate of the Institute IDFRights
- Jean-Marie Cavada, President of the IDFRights Institute
- Benjamin Martin-Tardivat, Lawyer, Data specialist.
The biographies of the speakers are available at this link.
The conference will be held in French and will be moderated by Franck Macrez, Senior Lecturer at CEIPI and Director of the Research Laboratory.

Summary: The European Union has been for many years the most advanced continent in the world in the search for a balanced regulation between the American Gafa and the Chinese Batx on the one hand, and the defence of fundamental rights strongly impacted by the massive intrusion of digital technology in our lives and economies, on the other. This is a condition of the Union's sovereignty.
This research is now extending to other countries. Australia, and even the United States, would like to establish frameworks for competition, mass surveillance, platform taxation, and illicit or illegal content. But above all, respect for the privacy of citizens and the digital sovereignty of our companies. European cloud or not, privacy, European data market or not: this is the field open to debate. And that of the work of the Institute for Digital Fundamental Rights (https:// idfrights.org), which we are pleased to welcome for this first conference.
