Happy 2020 to all our readers! After (I hope) a relaxing Christmas break for most of us, it is time to look forward to consumer events/news/developments that are awaiting us in the coming weeks/months. To start with, you may be interested in a symposium, which takes place that on January 24th at Maastricht University, on the topic of 'Consumer and Data Privacy: the digital revolution of legal, social and economic interaction'. Three keynote speeches have been scheduled by: prof. Sally Wyatt (Maastricht University), prof. Roger Brownsword (Bournemouth University and King's College London) and prof. Hans-W. Micklitz (EUI). The registration is open until January 17th and there is still a possibility to submit your research posters.
