Dr. Eugenia Georgiades is a scholar in intellectual property and privacy law within the context of emerging digital technologies. Her work is interdisciplinary, drawing connections between technology, social media, intellectual property law, and data privacy, with a focus on the end user. She also explores privacy issues in novel environments such as the metaverse, virtual and mixed reality, and those arising from remote sensing technologies like satellite imagery. She is particularly focused on the protection of personal data such as image and voice rights.

As modelling and simulation environments such as the metaverse, video games, and digital twin platforms grow increasingly advanced, critical questions arise around how personal data is managed and protected. This presentation offers a critical analysis of the regulatory frameworks that govern personal information within these immersive spaces.
We will explore the privacy risks inherent in platforms that collect, share, and store vast amounts of user data—often in ways that leave it exposed to misuse. Drawing upon a case study of a metaverse platform, and a comparative analysis of legal approaches in the United States and the European Union, this session will assess the effectiveness of current laws in addressing these challenges.
