It will be especially developed the role of the Data protection Officer in the enforcement of “Privacy” right, as an application laboratory to better understand the material operating mechanisms of the public law institutions and the theoretical notions learned in the first module in relation to one of the new sectors of greater importance and transformation in the relationship between citizen and public power.
