The Future of Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Management: New Technologies and new approaches

Full course description

The course ‘The Future of Privacy, Cybersecurity and Data Management: New technologies and new approaches’ is the last module of the programme and it is a forward-looking course that touches upon future, potential and unresolved open questions related to the fields of privacy, cybersecurity and data management. The course ties together all previous subjects in an interdisciplinary way and requires students to work in teams to solve forward-looking and interdisciplinary challenges at the forefront of privacy, cybersecurity and data management. During the course, student teams will work on one of a number of challenges presented by challenge owners. Challenge owners will be actors from industry, regulators or civil society who will present a specific challenge regarding the future of privacy, cybersecurity and/or data management. During the course, students will be exposed to challenge owners and industry thought leaders through a series of workshops and online webinars to discuss emerging trends and practices at the forefront of privacy, cybersecurity and data management. The student teams are tasked with solving these issues and will present their solution in a final conference 150 and submit their solution (paper/prototype/etc.) for assessment to the challenge owner and the course staff.
