Specialists from Moldova and abroad gathered in Chisinau for the second international scientific conference on reconfiguring consumer protection in the digital age. It is organised by the European Consumer Centre of Moldova and the Stefan cel Mare Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The event brings together 100 participants in person and about 150 online, with nine partners from Moldova, Romania and Poland. Speakers stressed that consumer rights no longer stop at borders as online commerce grows. Daniela Vidaicu of Soros Foundation Moldova said consumer protection must become a visible practical priority amid European integration. Corina Lungu of the Ministry of Education and Research said the ministry will sign a cooperation agreement with the European Consumer Centre by the end of the month so consumer protection can be integrated into the curriculum.

Over two days the programme covers consumer protection in international public law, cybersecurity awareness, personal data protection and e-commerce, legal protection in contracts for buildings under construction, and the proportionality of remedies. More than 120 papers will be published in a scientific volume. The conference is part of an Expert-Grup project implemented with the Institute for European Policies and Reforms, supported by the European Union and Soros Foundation Moldova.
