Symposium on Applications of Contextual Integrity @ Princeton
Sep 13 – Sep 14 all-day
Symposium on Applications of Contextual Integrity @ Princeton | Princeton | New Jersey | United States

The aim of the symposium is to foster communication among diverse communities of research and practice that have used the theory of contextual integrity as a framework to reason about, design and evaluate, craft regulation for, and generate formal logics for privacy. After the success of a half-day meeting in Fall 2017, we are excited to follow up with a more comprehensive event to foster discussion across a broader spectrum of disciplines. The Symposium will feature a combination of invited and submitted works.

How can privacy survive the digital age? @ Washington, DC
Sep 13 @ 8:30 am – 11:30 am
How can privacy survive the digital age? @ Washington, DC | Washington | District of Columbia | United States

Every move we make on the internet, from wifi hotspot to wifi hotspot and cell tower to cell tower is recorded, leaving a bit of data that shows where we were, and what we did. Most consumers are blind to their digital footprints and feeling useless to do anything about it.

A new push for consumer protection and empowerment over the digital trail of data we leave online has brought new rules governing the web from Europe to California. For an in-depth discussion on the future of privacy in the digital world, The Atlantic will gather policymakers, technology industry leaders and experts.

The GDPR and Journalism. Protecting Privacy or a Break on Democratic Accountability? @ Brussels
Sep 18 all-day
The GDPR and Journalism. Protecting Privacy or a Break on Democratic Accountability? @ Brussels | Ixelles | Bruxelles | Belgium
On 18 September 2018, the Brussels Privacy Hub will host a lunchtime debate with Pol Deltour, VVJ/AVBB, and Paul Quinn, VUB, on “The GDPR and Journalism. Protecting Privacy or a Break on Democratic Accountability” from 12:00 – 14:30 (lunch will be provided).
Journalism like many other professions depends on the use of data which is often of a personal nature. Unlike many other areas however the profession can be set apart because gaining the consent of the data subjects involved is often not realistic given its investigative nature. Traditionally, journalists have been able to carry out such functions using public interest based exceptions. The arrival of the GDPR has heralded a change for the journalistic profession and has to a large extent harmonised data protection law throughout Europe. The regulation requires inter alia that applicable national law exists in order for journalists to carry out their function as before. The form such law takes is important as its formulation has the ability to restrict journalistic practice causing potential problems for out democratic societies.
The lunchtime debate will discuss the intersection of journalism and data protection using the perspective of the GDPR and Belgian law as a useful illustrations.
Time: 12:00 – 14:30 (lunch included)
Programme: The programme is now available.
VenueU-Residence, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Pleinlaan 2, 1050, Brussel (Access also via Generaal Jacqueslaan 271, 1050 Brussels)

Open Sidewalk #3: The Accessible City @ Toronto
Sep 22 @ 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Open Sidewalk #3: The Accessible City @ Toronto | Toronto | Ontario | Canada

An intentionally flexible city is accessible for every body, everywhere, and every day. People should be able to use things the way that makes the most sense for them, and we should build that flexibility and hackability into our spaces. That could mean adaptable furniture that can be repositioned, regardless of your strength or size, doors that can easily open, without requiring any particular dexterity, or technology that lets you access traffic signal devices with greater ease.

We don’t think one size fits most. One size fits one, and with technology, we can allow for dynamic flexibility in the city environment. Throughout history, the accessibility community has meaningfully pushed the fields of digital technology and computer science forward, and we want to formalize and encourage this throughout Quayside and beyond.

For us, it’s important that we address and begin this conversation now, which is why our third Open Sidewalk will focus on the theme of “The Accessible City”.

We welcome you to come and be part of co-creating a neighbourhood that can work for everyone.
