Sustainable Innovation with Effective Data Protection in the Pacific Rim
The Pacific Rim is a hot bed of innovation in observational technologies and applying them to practical applications driven by advanced analytics and artificial technologies. For these applications to be sustainable there needs to be policy mechanisms that are respectful of the diverse ethical and legal cultures in the region, and interoperable with other regions. This session will explore the application of information policy governance for new technologies emerging in the region.

Bridging Industry and Academia to Tackle Responsible Research and Privacy Practices
As more human interactions move online and the amount and variety of information shared digitally continues to grow, decisions regarding the collection, sharing, and use of this data must take into account both ethical and privacy considerations. It is important that industry and academia come together to find joint solutions for making these difficult decisions regarding privacy and ethics to maximize the benefits of data-driven research and practices, while ensuring that harms and negative outcomes are prevented. To bridge communication between these communities, we are organizing a workshop for thought leaders from academia, industry and civil society to identify common goals, establish a long-term vision, and initiate working teams for tangible projects focused on responsible research ethics and privacy practices around user data.
When: November 2-3, 2017 (CFP deadline is September 22, 2017)
Location: Facebook Offices, 770 Broadway, New York, NY
To encourage a diverse set of attendees, we ask those who are interested to provide their resume or CV and a 1 to 2-page submission. Please click the link below for details.
Privacy Localism: A New Research Agenda
Academic experts on administrative law, privacy, federalism, and local governance will be joined by policymakers, industry representatives and privacy advocates to present and discuss a variety of perspectives on the legal, empirical and policy implications of this trend toward “privacy localism.”

When the EU’s GDPR becomes fully applicable on 25 May 2018, many data protection requirements will be seen in a new perspective. 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.
Event Format:
- 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.
When: November 10, 2017 (CFP deadline is September 15, 2017)
Location: Leuven, Belgium
To encourage a diverse set of attendees, we ask those who are interested in attending the workshop to provide a one-page submission. Please click the link below for details.
Roundtable Discussion: Smart Cities and Open Data (2017 MetroLab Network Annual Summit)
WHAT
Privacy and Open Data
The Smart Cities and Open Data movements promise to use data to spark civic innovation and engagement, promote inclusivity, and transform modern communities. At the same time, advances in sensor technology, re-identification science, and Big Data analytics have challenged cities and their partners to construct effective safeguards for the collection, use, sharing, and disposal of personal information. In this breakout session, we will discuss privacy risks in open data programs and how cities like Seattle are promoting transparency while protecting individual rights.
Privacy and Urban Instrumentation
As cities harness more data than ever, how can we assess the risks and opportunities of new technologies and data flows while preserving public trust and individual privacy? In this breakout session, come hear from Cities, CIOs, academic leaders, and industry experts as we examine the opportunities and challenges of new urban instrumentation and how we can come together to address privacy challenges in smart cities.
