As a final element of our participant appreciation programme, we are pleased to offer participants an opportunity to extend the impact of their contribution beyond this research project.
Participants who complete the study may ask us to make a 5 euro donation on their behalf to European Digital Rights (EDRi), one of Europe's leading networks of organisations working to defend and advance digital rights and freedoms. We commit to donate a maximum value of 1000 euro.
By participating in the study, you already contribute to improving our understanding of risk assessment under the GDPR. Through this additional initiative, participants may also choose to support broader efforts to protect privacy, data protection, and other fundamental rights in the digital environment.
We hope this initiative reflects the spirit of the data protection community: combining rigorous research with a broader commitment to protecting fundamental rights and freedoms.
The study is a joint initiative of d.pia.lab at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP) at KU Leuven, bringing together interdisciplinary expertise in data protection law, psychology, and philosophy.
The study is part of the fundamental research project: "Risk as a subjective phenomenon. Integrating cognitive science into the concept of risk in European data protection law" which is funded by the Belgian Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) [reference no. G000724N] and the Polish National Science Centre (NCN) [NCN reference no. 2022/47/I/HS5/02457] in the Weave initiative.
