Nour Haidar
  1. Discussion around strategies being deployed by EU-based journalists and NGOs to tackle surveillance exports from the EU.

  2. Enable advocates, researchers and activists to undertake advanced research into EU-based financing and/or export of highly intrusive surveillance technologies.

  3. Develop a shared perspective on the most effective safeguards (human rights risk assessments vs. data protection stipulations vs. conditional funding vs. monitoring mechanisms)
