Privacy-preserving proximity tracing to help slow the spread of theSARS-CoV-2 virus has captured the attention of governments and general public alike. Coordinated by EPFL and ETH Zürich, an international consortium of researchers has spearheaded the design and implementation of a decentralized and thus privacy-conscious solution. The challenge is not just technical, but also societal,legal and ethical: the success of this approach vastly depends on the proportion of citizens installing the app. A distinguished and diverse panel will discuss how trust is needed to foster adoption by the population.
May 27th, 10:30 – 12:30, remote.
