The Call for Speakers is Open
Europe’s premier data protection conference meets in Brussels in 2017, and we’re seeking engaging speakers to share their expertise—and, of course, delight and enlighten delegates.
The Congress delivers policy debate, strategic thinking and thought-provoking discussion. Exceptional education is critical to our mission. Are you ready to step up and share your knowledge? Can you engage an audience? Are you excited to get more involved in the privacy community?
Now is your chance to submit a session proposal!
Deadline: 19 March
The 2-day workshop will introduce you to the EuroPriSe certification scheme: You will learn about EuroPriSe criteria and procedures and train how to specify a target of evaluation (ToE) and to write a EuroPriSe evaluation report. In addition, you will start to work on the training evaluation which is one important precondition for being admitted as EuroPriSe Expert.
The workshop is a combination of classroom and group work and involves practical examples. You will deal with privacy use cases to apply what you have learned and to benefit from the professional exchange with other workshop participants.
During the workshop, the experienced speakers will introduce you to EuroPriSe’s GDPR ready certification criteria for IT products and IT based services and provide you with an overview of EuroPriSe’s strategy regarding the GDPR.
Enjoy meeting other privacy professionals from around the globe and expand your professional network!
Note: Please study the requirements for expert admission thoroughly prior to registering to our workshop.
An early bird discount is available until June 30, 2017.
Enjoy an additional day of training!
Participants of the two-day EuroPriSe Expert Admission Workshop may participate free of charge in the one-day Expert Enhancement Workshop which takes place the very next day. Meet experienced EuroPriSe Experts and benefit from additional insight in EuroPriSe and EU data protection law!
| The projected benefits of data science and the paradigm of big data are not compatible with privacy focused regulation of information collection. Or… so goes a compelling and popular argument. However, not only does this argument play suspiciously well with the dominant business model of the commercial information industry, but it relies on misconceptions and ambiguities of key terms. There is no denying that data science poses genuine and unprecedented challenges to privacy, but abandoning regulation of information collection in favor of use regulation will undermine a cornerstone of individual freedom.
Helen Nissenbaum, Professor of Information Science at Cornell Tech, will unravel the debate between those who continue to see continued value in protecting privacy and those who would forgo privacy in favor of use regulation of data analytics instead. The event will take place on Thursday, Nov. 9, in a distinguished lecture hosted by The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law titled “Must Privacy Give Way to Use Regulation?” Professor Neil Richards of the Washington University in St. Louis Law School, an internationally-recognized expert in privacy law, information law, and freedom of expression, will comment on Nissenbaum’s lecture and engage her in dialogue. Following the lecture, the audience is invited to a public reception with Professors Nissenbaum and Richards. With generous support from the law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, the Moritz College of Law Program on Data and Governance presents this distinguished lecture annually. We invite you to join us and be a part of the conversation. |
A multidisciplinary research approach to understanding privacy is needed and deploying new privacy-aware approaches may require changes in existing technology systems, in business processes, in regulations, and in laws, as stated in the US National Privacy Research Strategy. When the EU’s GDPR becomes fully applicable on 25 May 2018, many data protection requirements will be seen in a new perspective. Among other aspects, “data protection by design and by default” will become an explicit legal obligation. Organizations who are processing personal data have to apply privacy engineering so that their systems implement data protection principles and integrate the necessary safeguards.
With this event, we aim to determine the relevant state of the art in privacy engineering; in particular, we will focus on those areas where the “art” needs to be developed further. The goal of this trans-Atlantic initiative is to identify open research and development tasks, which are needed to make the full achievement of the GDPR’s ambitions possible.
Format for the event:
- Review the state of the art – including current solutions
- Discuss current research in the field
- Break-out Sessions – participants will focus on “key challenges” and identify challenges for research and development
- All participants will discuss the outcomes of the break-out sessions and suggest next steps at the conclusion of the Workshop.
Who should attend:
- Privacy Engineering Researchers
- Privacy Engineers
- Practitioners responsible for data governance and protection
As surveys continue to experience declining response rates and incur rising costs, the research community from government, business, and academia have been turning to administrative data as a powerful supplement. However, standards for accessing and using administrative data for research purposes are currently not well established in the US.
Join the Administrative Data Research Facilities (ADRF) Network, a newly formed collective of professionals, at our inaugural conference to share approaches and foster collaborative opportunities in advancing this emerging field.
The conference will kick off Monday afternoon with a colloquium on trust, transparency, and privacy. Tuesday will feature a full day of panels on topics of data access, data sharing, and the science of administrative data research.
Please visit www.adrfconference.org for the most up-to-date program. Registration closes November 8, 2017.
This event is co-convened by the Office of the Provost at Georgetown University and Actionable Intelligence for Social Policy at the University of Pennsylvania and is sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Speaker: *Jay Freeman*Topic:
*That’s How You Get a Dystopia*
Apple/Samsung owns your phone. Google/Facebook owns your data.
Amazon/Microsoft owns your network. It seems we are no longer able to
conceptualize technology without deciding “who owns it?”. Do you want a
dystopia? Because that’s how you get a dystopia.When you hear about tradeoffs related to freedom, privacy, security, or
even simply quality, too often the discussion is highly theoretical and we
lose people to arguments over “well, that will never happen”. In fact,
there have been enough concrete and documented failures–places where the
software development community has accidentally enabled discrimination or
even directly been forced to support oppressive regimes–that we can learn
quite a bit even limiting ourselves to only what we can glean from major
news headlines.Attendees of this talk will hopefully obtain a new appreciation of just how
important it is to design decentralized and federated protocols, even when
ostensibly building systems that are “secure, yet centralized” (such as
Signal and even Tor), culminating in a description of Orchid, a
just-announced open-source platform that takes direct aim at Internet
surveillance.Bio:
Jay Freeman, widely known online as “saurik”, is the developer of Cydia,
the alternative to the App Store used on jailbroken iPhones, iPads, and the
iPod touch. Substrate, the platform he provides developers to alter the
behavior of running programs by way of runtime in-memory patching, has been
used by many thousands of developers and deployed to tens of millions of
users.Jay’s largely-academic background is in networking, static analysis, and
programming languages, which have resulted in nmap+V (which brought “what
version of what software is running on the remote computer?” to nmap in
2000), Exemplar/Anakrino (the first decompiler for .NET, released in 2001
while .NET was still only available to beta testers), and Cycript (a hybrid
of Objective-C and JavaScript that is often used to explore the behavior of
running programs).In 2017, along with Brian Fox, Gustav Simonsson, Stephen Bell, and Steve
Waterhouse, Jay co-founded Orchid, a new peer-to-peer protocol and
associated organization with a goal of ensuring surveillance-free access to
the Internet for everyone, everywhere. Orchid combines monetary incentives
(using a cryptocurrency) with design decisions that give users a feeling of
“control” over their Internet connection with a fully-decentralized
protocol to build a secure market for bandwidth.For more information about Privacy Lab, visit
