As we put 10 years of Privacy Camp behind, and with the 11th edition approaching, it is clearer than ever that our main mission continues to guarantee the safeguard of human rights in today’s vigorously changing world.

In 2023, the Privacy Camp invites you to participate in, and foster, a discussion about the a world that finds itself in a constant state of crisis, and in which the digital is, itself, critical.

How do digital technologies feed into and foster the multiple crises we inhabit? What do we need to consider when approaching the digital as a critical resource that we should nurture, so to promote and protect rights and freedoms? What does it mean to regulate digital technologies and infrastructures in times of crises?


Join us in answering critical questions during the 11th edition of Privacy Camp. We rely on you.

A draft programme is already available on our website for you to already start planning the different sessions you’d like to attend.
