Potential topics

The conference intends to bring together experts in the field, working at the intersection of law, ethics and neurotechnology. In addition to invited speakers, we welcome abstract submissions for in-person oral presentations. Whereas the focus is on neurotechnology, we also welcome talks on other technologies and techniques that entail challenges in view of freedoms and rights over the minds.

 

Topics may include:

- Moral rights over the mind

- Scope and foundations of legal rights for the mind (e.g., constitutional and human rights)

- Permissible limitations of legal rights for the mind (e.g., absolute protection, proportionality)

- Ethical principles and soft law instruments to regulate neurotechnology (e.g., by UNESCO and OECD)

- Supranational regulations relevant to neurotechnology (e.g., MDR, GDPR, AI Act)

- Domestic regulatory frameworks (e.g., criminal law, private law, administrative law)

- The relationship between moral rights, legal rights, and policy to protect the mind
