Professor Meinhard Schröder
"For now, my research focus is primarily on digital economy law, data protection law and e-government law. In all these areas, IT security is a major issue. Everybody uses modern IT nowadays, but many people fail to give consideration to IT security. From my legal perspective, I'm interested in exploring how law can and must ensure IT security and how people's trust in IT can be fostered. Law as an academic field needs to be informed by interdisciplinary research, especially in technology-related areas like these. Conversely, legal issues with IT need to be communicated, in order to implement legal requirements in the design of technology. A continuous dialogue with computer science, like the intense conversation taking place at the Passau Institute of Digital Security (PIDS) at University of Passau, is an excellent way to ensure this."
