GOAL
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 multi-disciplinary privacy research award” is to promote the need for and reward the results of multidisciplinary research, with the participation of the representative of diverse constituencies engaged in the investigation of the new ideas in data protection.
Description
The award, to be presented at the annual Computers, Data Protection and Privacy (CPDP) Conference held in Brussels at the end of January, will be given to the authors of the best paper that describes new ideas in privacy and data protection in a multidisciplinary setting. Eligible papers have been published or accepted for publication between November 1st 2010 and October 31st 2011.
Eligible papers need to be co-authored by representatives of at least two different scientific disciplines, one technical, one non-technical (e.g., a lawyer and a computer scientist, a cryptographer and a policy researcher, an economist and a technologist). Preference is given to papers where authors combine their expertise to address both technical and societal issues. The topics of the eligible papers are broad and include the subjects below, but are not limited to these subjects:
- Anonymity
- Data minimization
- Legal assessment of digital rights
- User and device authentication
- User controlled security and privacy
