SKEMA signs partnership with IDFrights

Published on 28 October 2021

SKEMA has sealed a partnership with IDFrights — Institute for Digital Fundamental Rights. As a result of this union, students will be able to contribute to the institute’s website and new content will be added to our double master’s programme in management and business law.

On 14 October, Alice Guilhon, Dean and executive president of SKEMA Business School, signed a partnership with IDFrights, the Institute for Digital Fundamental Rights, founded and headed by Jean-Marie Cavada, former CEO of Radio France and the member of European Parliament behind the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). This new alliance was initiated by Isabelle Bufflier, programme director of SKEMA’s double degree in business law. “It occurred to me that IDFrights could be a valuable partner for the master’s programme but also more generally for the school, since digital sovereignty and the use of personal data are strategic issues,” explained Isabelle Bufflier.


A crucial topic for digital natives


Digital sovereignty and the protection of personal data online are two essential topics for students in the management and business law course. The new partnership with IDFrights thus seems particularly pertinent and beneficial. "The new syllabus for the master 2 programme includes a new technologies law unit. Many of our students have shown an interest in the subject and are choosing to write their theses on burning topics of our time, such as personal data law or the link between artificial intelligence and the law," added the programme director. 


Student contributions on the IDFrights website


Master 1 in business law students following the “Consilience” track, run by professors Frederic Munier and Rodolphe Desbordes, will help to write a weekly press review on the institute’s website. This agreement with the SKEMA group is an opportunity full of promise: it will allow the law of digital issues to penetrate the universe of business schools. Moreover, it brings to the forefront the work and reflections of students,” says Jean-Marie Cavada.


“Questioning the impact of the use of large-scale data”


“This partnership with IDFrights gives our students an exceptional opportunity to enrich their thinking by working on subjects linked to current events in the digital world and its players, while questioning the impact of the use of large-scale data”, analysis Alice Guilhon, SKEMA’ Dean and Executive President.
