Your data are vital data source for everything from marketing decisions to artificial intelligence. But here’s a simple yet important question: Who actually owns your data?
In this talk, Prof. Dr. Renana Peres (Hebrew University Business School and Visiting Scholar at the University of Luxembourg) explores a future where each of us owns and controls our personal data. This idea goes far beyond privacy protection. Imagine being able to decide:
Could such a shift transform how businesses, platforms, and consumers interact? Could it reshape the entire data economy?
Drawing on her newest research, Prof. Peres will introduce the three pillars of data ownership — Protection, Control, and Monetization — and invite us to think about what happens when consumers, not intermediaries, sit at the center of the data ecosystem.
📅 When: Wednesday, 17 September 2025, at 18:00 (welcome from 17:30)
📍 Where: Belval Campus, Room MSA 3.160
🥂 Followed by informal drinks
Join us as we kick off the new academic year with this thought-provoking talk and lively exchange of ideas.
