CPDP2023 Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference • Call for Panels

Call for Panels CPDP2023

This call for panels is aimed at academic consortia, research projects, think tanks and other research organisations and welcomes proposals that address the ideas that drive our digital world.

Please note that another call, to individuals for academic research papers, will go out in November 2022. For-profit organisations interested in organising a panel at CPDP or otherwise wishing to support the conference, we kindly ask you to refer to our Sponsorship page or reach out to info@cpdpconferences.org for further information.‍

CPDP2023: IDEAS THAT DRIVE OUR DIGITAL WORLD

In an increasingly digitised world, an ever-expanding constellation of data protection norms and values continues to materialise. The digital and regulatory agendas, both locally and globally, have profound impacts on the ways in which individuals and societies experience technology. A reflection on the ideas that drive our digital world requires a reckoning with some of the big questions facing us today: how do we design a truly inclusive digital society? What is the future of technology and regulation, and how is this future decided?

Emerging global standards for privacy, data protection, AI and beyond, raise myriad questions on the rule of law in the digital world, processes of international norm creation, self-regulation and standardisation, and the design of governance and accountability frameworks. As data flows know no borders, and data protection laws have come of age, are current frameworks sufficient or are new ideas necessary?

Crucially, reflecting on the ideas that drive our digital world also requires profound conversations on the societal, legal, ethical and technical norms that underpin the development of new technologies and the rules that govern their use.

The theme of CPDP2023 is ‘Ideas that Drive our Digital World’ - we welcome cutting edge panels in all areas related to technology, privacy and data protection, and particularly invite proposals that fit the general conference theme.
‍
We particularly seek panel proposals addressing the following topics:

Histories and futures of data protection and privacy
Data protection and privacy regulation in practice
International dialogue, harmonising regional and international digital agendas
Data protection in law enforcement and security
Critical data justice perspectives on existing and future data norms, laws and standards
Geographies of data use
Citizen participation in data protection and privacy norm creation
The protection of human dignity in the digital world
New perspectives on the cultural, legal, and socio-ethical dimensions of privacy and data protection
Interdisciplinary approaches to data protection and privacy

We encourage panels that are well-balanced, multidisciplinary, geographically and gender diverse. We also welcome different types of sessions such as debates, roundtables, workshops and other non-conventional formats. More information about rules for panel composition and submission can be found here.

RULES ON PANEL SUBMISSION AND COMPOSITION

We kindly ask that all interested partners carefully read and adhere to the panel composition rules below. The CPDP Programming Committee reserves the right to propose changes to panel submissions as a condition for acceptance, or to decline the submission altogether should it continue to not adhere to the rules below.

Please ensure you can meet the financial conditions for panel submission (€1400 panel fee, plus all costs for speakers and moderator).
Please aim to have a maximum of 4 speakers and 1 moderator. Participants cannot double up roles. Requests for more or fewer than 4 speakers will be considered, but please note that we are not able to offer registration fee waivers for more than 4 speakers.
Traditional panels must have a gender (at least 2 women), geographical (not more than 2 people from the same country and at least 3 countries represented) and disciplinary/sectoral spread (not all lawyers or academics or business representatives). For alternative panel formats, please read below.
Please ensure that panellists represent differing perspectives and viewpoints on the chosen panel topic. Debate and open discussion are especially encouraged.
The last 30 minutes of every session must be allotted to Q&A interaction with the audience. As we aim to facilitate different panel formats, the CPDP Programming Committee will also consider panel submissions that integrate audience questions and involvement from the start.
For CPDP2023, we encourage new ideas for panel formats. If you would like to propose an alternative format, please include this information during the panel submission process in the ‘Panel Description’ box.
CPDP reserves the right to choose the moderator. If you have a preference, please let us know during the panel submission process, in the ‘Panel Description’ box.
The organising institute cannot have more than 2 participants on the panel.
If you have a special reason for proposing a panel which does not correspond to this spread, please let the CPDP Programming Committee know during the panel submission process, in the ‘Panel Description’ box, or reach out to info@cpdpconferences.org
Speakers at CPDP do not speak more than once.
Panels should be finished (or very nearly finished) by early February 2023. If a panel is still problematic at this point, the CPDP Programming Committee reserves the right to step in and take over.

If the rules above are not adhered to, the CPDP Programming Committee reserves the right to step in and address any issues, or decline the panel submission. For any questions or clarifications, please reach out to us at info@cpdpconferences.org

Please submit your panel proposal by 25 November 2022.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!
