More information about rules for panel composition and submission can be found below. We kindly ask that all interested partners carefully read and adhere to these panel composition rules. The CPDP.ai 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 submit your panel proposal by Monday 2 December 2024.
The calls for research papers and for interactive workshops are being published in October and December, respectively.
Please do read the rules on panels before submitting your panel.
KEY DATES
CPDP.ai will assess the relationship between fundamental rights and technological progress, highlighting the crucial role that data protection must play in safeguarding individuals in a world where nearly every digital action is potentially surveilled for large databases, which may be used for unaccountable and discriminatory purposes by states and companies. If you are eager to contribute to CPDP.ai’s mission, then we invite you to suggest a panel for the upcoming edition.
The calls for research papers and for interactive workshops are being published In October and December respectively.
This call for panels is aimed at research organisations (universities, research projects, think tanks and others), public sector bodies, and civil society groups active in the digital governance field. We welcome proposals that explore the many challenges of our digital lives. In an increasingly surveilled and digitised world and amidst the complexities of technological innovation and geopolitical tensions, what role can data protection play in ensuring the protection of fundamental rights? The world is watching.
We encourage panels that are well-balanced, multidisciplinary, and diverse in terms of geography, culture and gender. We also welcome different types of sessions, including debates, roundtables, workshops, and non-conventional formats. If you are uncertain whether your idea fits into the call for panels, or should be submitted to the call for workshops, please contact the team. More information about the rules for panel composition and submission can be found below.
We kindly ask that all interested partners carefully read and adhere to these panel composition rules. The CPDP.ai Programming Committee reserves the right to propose changes to panel submissions as a condition for acceptance, or to decline the submission altogether should it not adhere to the rules below, or for any other reason relating to the quality of the panel, or its suitability in the context of the conference.
For-profit organisations interested in organising a panel at CPDP or otherwise wishing to support the conference can refer to our sponsorship page or to reach out to info@cpdpconferences.org for further information.
We welcome submissions on any novel and intriguing subjects related to digital society - including but not limited to legal topics and including but not limited to data protection topics. The below questions constitute a non-exhaustive list of topics which would fall within the ambit of the conference. This year, we will have dedicated tracks for computer science and data protection officer-related topics. The submission form allows you to present your proposal for consideration for these tracks.
Data governance, AI, and privacy: The world is watching! The European Union has produced digital legislation at an astonishing rate, both regulating to control existing technological phenomena – such as AI – and to shape specific social constructs built upon technical phenomena – such as the European Health Data Space. Perhaps more than ever, EU digital frameworks are expected to cast regulatory shadows across the world.
However, while the Brussels effect may have proliferated specific privacy and data protection practices worldwide, it also risks reinforcing existing global power dynamics. Stringent EU data export rules can, for example, hinder the competitiveness of the Global South. Besides, many other actors shape digitalisation in very different ways, especially in times of geopolitical change. In such a context, can we expect the norm-setting, global influence of European legislation in the data protection and privacy fields to be paralleled and even strengthened in related digital legislation areas? The Brussels effect of AI regulation may be blunted by the complexity and diversity of the governance arrangements that are created through political processes at many levels, from the local to the global.
These may cut across the high aims and stringent rules adopted in Brussels, and lead to a false sense of security and lack of public confidence in the safeguarding of information rights and other values in an AI-driven world. Challenges for privacy and data protection are complicated further by surveillance and data grabbing practices that constrain policymakers, industry and other digital actors. Consumer expectations and technological innovations also have a role to play. To navigate these complexities, perhaps more than ever, and in more than one way, legislators, governments, regulators, data protection officers, civil society, industry and academia across the globe are watching the digital world, and each other.
CPDP.ai nurtures and enforces a set of rules on panel submission and composition to ensure fair representation and open discussion in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Please read the rules below carefully, even if you are an experienced contributor to CPDP.ai. If these rules are not adhered to, the CPDP.ai Programming Committee reserves the right to step in and address any issues or to decline the panel submission, or for any other reason relating to the quality of the panel, or its suitability in the context of the conference.
