Exchange experience with your peers: This conference will go beyond the text of the new law to enable you to exchange experience on how you are working in your organisation to expand business opportunities resulting from some of the new feature of the law, such as: simplification of international transfers, the more flexible definition of “scientific research, and the fact that legitimate interest guidance is now legally binding.
