Value dilemmas in the shifting role of security professionals
Today the military, police agencies, border guard services are involved in activities within the territory of the Member states, but also in missions abroad. This panel will analyze this evolution and highlight the ethical dilemmas with regard to EU missions, and security institutions.
Ethical premises and consequences of security technologies
Technology is to a larger degree becoming a response to security threats, seen in the vast use of surveillance technologies, biometric systems and profiling tools. This rapid development thus creates a need for a solid ethical reflection on security technologies, their uses, and their impact on fundamental rights and freedoms.

Data protection and the rights of privacy has become a well debated issue in many European countries in recent years. This panel will analyze the various methods of collaboration and data sharing relative to migration, domestic legislation and war, anti-terrorist legislation in Europe, and discuss them in terms of their legal implications.
