About the Symposium

Criminal Law and Data Governance in the Digital Economy explores the legal, regulatory, and institutional challenges arising from the rapid expansion of digital technologies, data-driven systems, and online economic activities. As digital assets, personal data, and virtual interactions become increasingly central to contemporary societies, ensuring effective legal protection and robust governance frameworks has become more critical than ever.

In this evolving landscape, criminal law plays a pivotal role in addressing cybercrime, digital fraud, and the misuse of emerging technologies, while data governance frameworks aim to ensure accountability, transparency, and ethical use of data. The growing complexity of digital ecosystems calls for innovative, interdisciplinary, and globally coordinated approaches.

This symposium provides a high-level platform for academic and institutional dialogue on how criminal law and data governance can effectively respond to emerging digital risks while safeguarding fundamental rights, freedoms, and strategic assets in the digital age. It also highlights the importance of Scientific Diplomacy as a strategic lever to foster international cooperation, knowledge exchange, and policy harmonization in addressing transnational digital challenges.

By bringing together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, the symposium aims to contribute to the development of resilient legal systems and forward-looking governance models capable of supporting secure, ethical, and sustainable digital transformation.
