Biometric data, which includes information extracted from the human body through technological means, is increasingly being used for purposes beyond medical treatment. This project will investigate the underlying technologies and socio-technical systems through which biometric data is collected and processed, as well as the legal, political, technological, and economic context in which these technologies are being developed and used.
This project was launched in partnership with the European Law Institute in 2024. ALI members may join the Members Consultative Group.
