Digital Legal Lab researcher Aurelia Tamò-Larrieux (Maastricht University) co-organized the GoodBrother International Conference on Privacy-friendly and Trustworthy Technology for Society on June 28 in Zagreb, Croatia. Professor Esther Keymolen (Tilburg University), who is also a member of the Digital Legal Lab, gave the opening keynote speech on trust.

Aurelia Tamò-Larrieux, who is an Assistant Professor for Privacy, Security, and Computational Law at the Maastricht Law and Tech Lab, organized the conference together with Christoph Lutz, Eduard Fosch-Villaronga, Anton Fedesov, and Anto Čartolovni. 

The conference aimed to advance the knowledge on critical ethical concepts such as privacy, trust, and transparency of (AAL) technologies, contributing particularly by extending emerging concepts and themes such as privacy-by-design, overtrust, transparency-by-design, and personalized transparency. The organizers invited 16 presenters to discuss their interdisciplinary approaches spanning the social sciences, legal scholarship, ethics, and research in computing and engineering.
