Lecture Series: Health Data Privacy - Perspectives and Challenges

Course Description

This winter semester, the BIH AG Health Data Privacy offers an interdisciplinary lecture series examining the opportunities and privacy challenges associated with the collection, use and sharing of health data. Through perspectives from regulation, privacy enhancing technologies, data governance and human centred privacy, the series explores how the interests and expectations of data subjects can be reconciled with the legitimate needs of researchers, healthcare providers and other data users. The lectures highlight both the benefits enabled by health data use and the limitations, trade-offs and practical challenges of different approaches to protecting privacy.

Target audience

The series is offered primarily to doctoral students at Charité. External PhD candidates and public attendees are welcome within the capacity of the event space. 

Participation & certification

You can choose to register for all or only for lectures on certain dates. If you’re registered to attend all lectures you can earn a participation certificate of 2,5 ECTS by coursework in the form of submitted post-lecture memos, and a final presentation, relating one of the lecture topics to one’s own research. Internal PhD students will be given priority to present at the end of the semester.
