The Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance (FDEF) of the University of Luxembourg is pleased to invite you to this International Conference on Information Technology as a Challenge and Opportunity for Gathering Evidence in Punitive Proceedings.
Abstract:
This conference will address the problem of the gathering of evidence by means of different modern Information and Communication Technologies. ICT have produced an incremental amount of data that is increasingly useful for criminal, but also administrative, investigations. The objective of the event is to tackle the new challenges that arise from the evolution of the format and multiplication of data as evidence for law enforcement and administrative authorities, while looking into the opportunities they offer to fight against illegal behaviours. This problem often arises to practitioners along their needs on specific cases and to policymakers to rapidly offer new opportunities to fight the constantly evolving nature of crimes. By overviewing the global legal and practical realities of evidence gathering, the conference aims at fostering a broader and more in-depth debate on this tendency.
The panels will focus on gathering electronic evidence in criminal and administrative proceedings, gathering evidence in virtual worlds and by means of artificial intelligence, as well as on challenges in acquiring and using financial data. Speakers will come from academia, EU institutions, the private sector, and practitioners’ circles.
