[-] European Data Governance: Public and Private Law Challenges
Chairs: Carmen Tamara Ungureanu, Carmen Moldovan (Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iasi, Romania) The development of the Internet has had a pervasive impact over communications, technologies and human interaction, creating a new environment and new resources. In the landscape of digital transformation, data governance stands as a critical pillar, ensuring the responsible management, processing, and protection of data assets. Within the European context, data governance encounters a myriad of challenges stemming from both public and private law domains. The aim of this special session is to explore the intricate interplay between legal frameworks and data management practices, focusing on the European Union's regulatory environment. On the public law dimension, issues such as jurisdictional complexities, regulatory compliance burdens, cross-border data transfers, and data localization requirements pose significant hurdles. Meanwhile, private law challenges encompass contractual arrangements, delineation of liability and accountability, data disputes, and safeguarding intellectual property rights. Through the examination of these challenges, this session aims to shed light on the complexities surrounding European data governance and underscores the pressing need for a comprehensive legal framework that reconciles public interest objectives with private sector imperatives. By navigating these challenges effectively, European stakeholders can foster a data governance ecosystem that promotes innovation, protects individual rights, and upholds the rule of law in the digital age.[-] Recent Developments in the Conceptualization and Operationalization of Resilience at National
and Euro-Atlantic Levels
Chairs: Arpad Todor (National University of Political and Administrative Studies - SNSPA, Romania). Jeni Campineanu (Research and Training Department, The Euro-Atlantic Resilience Centre, E-ARC, Romania) The analysis of scientific literature and strategic documents over the past decade reveals an exponential increase in the relevance of resilience and the utilization of the resilience concept, with a wide gradient of definitions, as well as the recognition of resilience as a concept that focuses public policies at the European and Euro-Atlantic levels. Recent projects aimed at assessing resilience levels and implementing public policies to enhance institutional resilience have highlighted multiple challenges that must be overcome for the integration of a systemic approach. This panel will bring together contributions that analyze recent developments, conceptual analyses, and public policies aimed at improving institutional resilience and beyond. The panel is based on the Resilient project "Enhancing Analytical and Administrative Capacity for Implementing the Resilience Dimension in the Functioning of Central Public Institutions (REZILIENT)" (project code SIPOCA 1272 / MySMIS code 158627). The project's overall objective was to develop and introduce a common system and a set of uniform standards in public administration regarding the operationalization of the concept of institutional resilience. The final outcome was the optimization of relevant decision-making processes for society, through the creation of a general framework that fosters the development of a culture of resilience at the national level, as well as the development of methods and measures to respond to vulnerabilities regarding societal, institutional, and governance resilience. The panel is open to proposals addressing: • Social resilience and the factors affecting it during shocks; • Resilience of governance systems in the face of new challenges; • Resilience of various socio-economic structures to shocks induced by digitization and modern transformations; • The role of resilience-centered approaches in strengthening national and international defense systems; • Institutional resilience and the dangers of institutional conservatism; • Policies and concrete measures to strengthen the resilience capacity of socio-economic systems.[-] Situation of Ukrainian refugees in Central Europe and the Balkans – comparative analysis and
