Elias Belgacem

Maître en droit, LL.M.

I am a young privacy lawyer, originally from Versailles (France) and based in Düsseldorf (Germany). After employment and corporate law studies in France (Université de Cergy-Pontoise) and Germany (Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf), life led me to The Netherlands to the research LL.M. program "International Technology Law" at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. In this context, I researched to assess how AI is challenging the current legal corpus regulating labor relations in Europe.

At the chair for Digital Self-Determination of the Berlin Career College (Berlin University of the Arts), and at the Einstein Center Digital Future, I am mostly working on the availability of movement data for sustainable urban mobility from a data protection perspective. This includes in particular the implementation of data protection by design through data minimization, especially with functional anonymization, or through the possibilities offered by certification methods.

It also is with great pride that I am president and founder of the Euro-Mediterranean Legal Center and vice-president of the Moroccan-German Center for Comparative Law.
