The Agenda of the Roundtable session (15th July afternoon)
The Roundtable session “Ethics vs. efficiency in content extraction for digital evidence” will be composed by two sessions:
The first one will be composed by end users, will be used for presenting users’ needs and requirements in terms of privacy and ethics.
The second one will be composed by experts in ethics, in privacy and forensics, by policy makers and Eu projects, it will be used for answering to end users’ questions of the first panel.
The shape of the panel: we foresee no presentations. The aim is to have a vivid discussion. Thus, in other words, no slides nor any presentations are allowed. The moderator will ask 3-4 questions, the same for all panelists, and each person has max. 2 (two) min. to answer. The time to answer each will be strictly respected. Having concluded the panels, there will be discussion with the public.
