Hosted in the aftermath of the WTO’s MC13 and the March negotiation round of the Joint Initiative on E-Commerce (E-Commerce JI), this webinar gives us an opportunity to take stock and discuss the status quo digital trade regulation at the WTO.

The conference “Trade Law 4.0” co-organized by the University of Lucerne and Georgetown Law seeks to unpack contemporary data governance with a focus on the role of global trade law.

Lecture by Prof. Dr. Mira Burri and Dr. Lucy Keller (Discussant) from the event series Social Media and Human Rights, organized by the Swiss Section of the International Commission of Jurists and the University of Lucerne.

The Faculty of Law will host an international conference on Big Data and Global Trade Law. The event is organized by PD Mira Burri in her role as a principal investigator of the NRP75 project ‘The Governance of Big Data in Trade Agreements’. The conference is meant to bridge the disconnected discourses on trade law and policy and data-driven innovation. With leading scholars on board and active engagement from stakeholders and policy-makers, the conference aims at an unbiased, interdisciplinary and future-oriented discussion on the multiple societal implications of Big Data and on how global trade law should be shaped to appropriately address them.
