Dear students, postgraduates and professors! We are pleased to invite you to the master class ‘’Applied Technology: Information and Technology in Times of Humanitarian Crisis’’ with Dr. Paresh Kathrani (UK), organized by the Mykolas Romeris University School of Law, that will deal with contemporary issues of law and technologies.
Information plays a pivotal role in times of unrest, especially population displacement. Not only does it enable people to protect themselves, but we are increasingly seeing complex data being used as a means to understand and respond to events. Technology has a fundamental impact on humanitarian crises – and what lies at the heart of this is how data is moved. Different technologies, such as AI and blockchain, open up new ways of responding to emergencies. This session will look at how technology, data, and information coalesce and what impact this has on humanitarian crises.
