Abstract

On 1 December 2022, an international conference titled “The right to privacy in the digital age – in specific terms” was held at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The conference marked the completion of a year-long collaboration between several researchers from seven Central European countries (namely: Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia), who had been working under the guidance of Marcin Wielec to conduct research on the subject of the right to privacy in the digital age with an emphasis on specific terms. The book titled “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age. Perspective of Analysis on Certain Central European Countries” is one of the above-mentioned research’s most important results. Other results of the research group’s significant work include an international conference, and various scholarly publications, as well as dissemination events. The research group on the right to privacy is one of the five research teams presently operating under the guidance of the Central European Professors’ Network. This contribution summarizes the conference presentations and the work of the research group.
