Bilingual Privacy Café – DNA & Privacy

This Privacy Café is linked to the NICC’s Study Day on DNA and explores a fascinating theme: DNA and the search for your roots.
🔹 Ankie Vandekerckhove will open the evening with an inspiring talk on ancestry rights and privacy, addressing the delicate balance between the right to know your origins and the right to privacy.
