Since 2021, the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt) is funding the interdisciplinary research project "Vectors of Data Disclosure – A comparative study on the disclosure of personal data from the perspectives of legal, cultural studies, and business information systems research". The researchers involved in the project include Professors Hennemann (Chair of European and International Information and Data Law), Kai von Lewinski (Chair of Public Law, Media Law and Information Law), Daniela Wawra (Chair of English Language and Culture) and Thomas Widjaja (Chair of Business Information Systems).
This research project is dedicated to the framework – be it the regulatory context (in depth and in width), personal biases and experiences, social conventions and / or dependencies – that influence one’s decision to disclose personal data. An interdisciplinary research team, therefore, combines insights from three disciplines (cultural studies, law, and business information systems). The associated questions are tackled empirically, comparatively, and in an international context. To this end, we look into eight divergent legal and cultural contexts (Brazil, China, European Union, Ghana, Japan, Russia, Switzerland, and the United States of America).
To conclude the first half of the project, the team likes to present their interim results as well as obtain input, feedback, and suggestions for the remaining part of the project. With this in mind, they invite you to their conference (held in English) at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Munich on June 27 and 28 2022. According to current status of planning, the conference will be held in person.
The research team is already looking forward to exciting insights from, among others, Professor Dr Hanna Krasnova (University of Potsdam), Professor Dr Lothar Determann (Baker McKenzie | FU Berlin), Professor Jens Großklags, PhD (Technical University of Munich) and Professor Dr Sabine Trepte (University of Hohenheim).

The team looks forward to your participation and a lively discussion concerning the “Vectors of Data Disclosure”!
