About
Prof. Jacques de Werra participates as a panelist for the Digital Law Center in the conference organized by the Office of Digital Transformation of the University of Geneva (Dr. Yaniv Benhamou).
Today we are witnessing the emergence of a global digital society with the massive sending of data abroad. However, some States seem to be returning to national isolationism with local storage solutions in order to be less dependent on foreign infrastructures and platforms. In Switzerland, there is talk of adopting a Swiss Cloud for certain categories of data, while our neighbors are considering a European strategy. Beyond these geopolitical issues, this mass sending of data in Switzerland and abroad raises the question of protecting our privacy and control over our data. This conference will question the role of multilateralism in the search for global answers.
