Privacy Camp is one of the flagship digital rights and privacy gatherings in Europe. Every year, we bring together over 300 digital rights advocates, activists as well as academics and policy-makers from all around Europe and beyond to discuss the most pressing issues facing human rights online. For the 13th edition of the event, we will collectively explore the theme Resilience and Resistance in Times of Deregulation and Authoritarianism, and build collective power against the most urgent challenges facing our digital human rights.
Register now to attend. Registration is free and necessary for attending both the in-person event in Brussels and for joining us online, because it will allow us to send you the relevant logistical details for a smooth experience
Privacy Camp is organised by European Digital Rights (EDRi), in collaboration with its partners the Research Group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Privacy Salon vzw, the Institute for European Studies at UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles, and the Racism and Technology Center.
