Dear all,

 

As the IGF is approaching fast, I would like to invite those who are interested in how in Data Protection is evolving in the BRICS countries to our workshop on Value and Regulation of Personal Data in the BRICS, on Wednesday, November 27 from 16:40 to 18:10 https://igf2019.sched.com/event/SU1q/ws-211-value-and-regulation-of-personal-data-in-the-brics

 

The long description of the workshop is available here https://www.intgovforum.org/multilingual/content/igf-2019-ws-211-value-and-regulation-of-personal-data-in-the-brics

 

For those who want to have a teaser, below you will find two CyberBRICS video clips we have just released, in the context of last week BRICS Summit, in Brasilia.
