GENERAL STRUCTURE

CPDP is an annual three-day conference devoted to privacy and data protection discussions. The 6th edition of CPDP will be held on 23-25 January 2013 in Brussels. Whilst a number of speakers are specifically invited by the conference several slots remain open to application through an annual call for papers.

The CPDP 2013 Call for Papers is addressed to all researchers who wish to present their papers at the next Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference.

The call is split into two different tracks. The first dedicated to experienced researchers, while the second welcomes PhD students and junior researchers. The double-track structure of the CPDP 2013 Call for Papers aims to meet the increasing interest of researchers and their expectations in terms of academic feedback and exchange.

In the framework of CPDP 2013, the CPDP Scientific Committee invites papers in the fields of law, social sciences, philosophy and computer sciences. In particular, this call aims to reach researchers whose works relate to technologies, privacy, data protection, non-discrimination and surveillance.

SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE

 

MULTIDISCIPLINARY PRIVACY PAPER AWARD

It has been recognized that, in order to achieve consistent and meaningful progress in data protection, diverse stakeholders – regulators, lawyers, privacy professionals, technologists, service operators, and others – have to work together in order to understand and incorporate the requirements and technical/process limitations of each constituency. However, research in the area of data protection continues to be segmented, with each constituency focusing on its own set of issues.

The goal of this Award, the ‘CPDP Multidisciplinary Privacy Research Award’, is to promote the need for, and reward the results of, multidisciplinary research, with the participation of representatives of diverse constituencies engaged in the investigation of new ideas in data protection. A Call for Papers will go out soon. The main sponsor of the Multidisciplinary Privacy Paper Award is the Intel Corporation.

 

WHAT IS CPDP?

Every year in Brussels, CPDP gathers policy makers, academics, computer scientists, consultants, practitioners and activists from all over the world to exchange ideas and discuss emerging issues in information technology, privacy, data protection and law.

CPDP has been growing progressively since its inception in terms of speakers, participants and panels. Ambitions for CPDP 2013 are higher than ever, as it will stage more than 40 panels and workshops (with a stimulating mix of academics, practitioners, regulators and advocates), as well as multiple side events (such as open debates, Pecha-Kucha performances and artistic interventions). CPDP will pay particular attention to high-level and innovative research, and four panels will be completely devoted to the presentations of outstanding junior and senior academics. This call for papers is explicitly dedicated to these four panels.

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 indepence 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. Today, under the CPDP umbrella, panels are organised by a multitude of institutes and research groups: the Zentrum Technik und Gesellschaft der TU Berlin, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Fundamental Rights Agency, and others. Sponsor money is used to organize the platform, to support some speakers and PhD students and to set up the Multidisciplinary Privacy Paper Award.
