This interdisciplinary course is part of the thematic training of the Leuven Arenberg Doctoral School Training Programme. The course is mainly aimed at Ph.D. students from all disciplines (either from the KU Leuven or from other universities), but also open to undergraduate students, post-docs, people working in industry, or anyone else interested on the topic.

In a series of lectures, the course will provide an overview of various aspects of privacy from the technical, legal, and social science perspectives. This year’s edition of the course will have a special focus on privacy by design, web search services, and behavioral advertising.

In addition to the lectures, this year’s course will feature interactive exercise sessions in which the participants will work in groups. In these exercise sessions the participants will apply what they learn in the lectures to a practical case study (web search application). The participants will be asked to identify the stakeholders and their requirements, define the functionality of the system, select the technologies that would be implemented in the design, and discuss the legal and societal aspects of the system. The participation in the exercise sessions is required in order to obtain the certificate of attendance to the course.
