Objective
Under the title
“It’s the End of the World as We Know It - Data Protection and Law
Enforcement in a Shifting World Order”, the 9th EDEN Conference will
focus on the law enforcement challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the
Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, two events that have changed
Europe and the world since 2020. Their consequences on fundamental
rights, data protection and cybersecurity from a law enforcement
perspective will be discussed, drawing links to Europol’s new mandate
whenever appropriate.
The conference will attempt to approach the two events from a
fundamental rights and data protection perspective, whilst raising
awareness about the challenges the law enforcement sector has
experienced during the last three years.
