Overview[]
The Brussels Laboratory for Data Protection & Privacy Impact Assessments (d.pia.lab) connects basic, methodological and applied research, provides training and delivers policy advice related to impact assessments in the areas of innovation and technology development. While legal aspects of privacy and personal data protection constitute its core expertise, the Laboratory mobilises other disciplines including ethics, philosophy, surveillance studies and science, technology & society (STS) studies.
Established in November 2015, the Laboratory constitutes a part of and builds upon the experience of the Research Group on Law, Science, Technology & Society (LSTS) at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Belgium.
