CPDP Multidisciplinary
Privacy Award
This year's Multidisciplinary Privacy Research Award contest has received 9 submissions from around the globe. The two finalist papers both concern behavioural-economics studies regarding people's privacy attitudes and behaviour.
The winner of the CPDP 2013 MPRA is a paper written by Sarah Spiekermann, Jana Korunovska and Christine Bauer entitled 'Psychology of ownership and asset defense: why people value their personal information beyond privacy'.
The 2012 award was won Thorben Burghardt, Klemens Böhm et al. for their paper 'Tackling Compliance Deficits of Data-Protection Law with User Collaboration - a Feasibility Demonstration with Human Participants'.
CPDP is a non profit platform originally founded in 2007 by research groups from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, the Université de Namur and Tilburg University. From the start CPDP wanted to be more than just an academic platform. The mission is to gather all relevant stakeholders in an atmosphere of independence and mutual respect. The platform was joined by the Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique and the Fraunhofer Institut für System und Innovationsforschung. For CPDP 2013, these conference partners have been joined by yet more outstanding institutions, including: TU Berlin, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law, the University of Leiden, the University of Passau and the University of Amsterdam. In addition, CPDP2014 welcomes the KU Leuven and the University of Edinburgh as new European partners and is also proud to welcome a number of prestigious American partners, including: Capital University, University of California - Berkeley, University of Main and Fordham University.
