Dr. Ewa Michałkiewicz-Kądziela will be presenting findings from her recently published paper “Legal boundaries of digital identity creation”. We will have an hour’s time to chat about defining human identity in the digital world, the necessary legal tools for its implementation and the relationship between digital and real identity. What is the standard-setting role of the law in protecting the individual’s fundamental right to identity in the digital age? How does the digital environment affect human identity creation in a legal sense?
