   The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (your consent to the processing of your personal data has been given by completing the registration form and separately in the case of other conferences or events organised by co-organisers), and Article 6(1)(e) (the organisation by universities of scientific events carried out as part of their public tasks and the provision of information about such events to members of the University Community and alumni, as well as to persons whose contact details come from publicly available sources). The Act - The Law on Higher Education and Science - on the one hand imposes public tasks on HEIs, which they have to undertake (Article 11(1)), and on the other hand guarantees their autonomy in all areas of their activities according to the rules set out in the Act (Article 9(2)), which allows HEIs to independently define detailed objectives and forms of activity within the status designated by the law. In fulfilling the tasks indicated in the aforementioned Act and making use of the autonomy granted, guided by the European university tradition, the Silesian University of Technology carries out activities for the benefit of local and regional communities). and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the administrator related to the defence against possible claims).
