Call for Nominations: 15th Annual Privacy Papers for Policymakers Award
Future of Privacy Forum Award Elevates Privacy Research to Inform Policy Discussion
September 9, 2024 —The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) invites scholars and authors with an interest in privacy issues to submit finished papers to be considered for its 15th annual Privacy Papers for Policymakers (PPPM) Awards.
The award provides privacy and data protection scholars, researchers, and authors in the U.S. and internationally with the opportunity to inject their ideas into the current policy discussion. It elevates and honors important work analyzing current and emerging privacy issues, with the potential to inform real-world policy solutions as the U.S. Congress, federal regulators, and international data protection agencies grapple with privacy issues.
FPF also offers a student paper award to honor work authored by students in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. Student submissions must follow the same guidelines as the general PPPM award.
“The accelerating pace of AI has raised complex challenges for policymakers, and scholarship from the privacy and technology academic community is increasingly critical for shaping legislative and compliance solutions,” said Jules Polonetsky, CEO of FPF. “As lawmakers worldwide seek to address urgent data protection issues, FPF’s Privacy Papers for Policymakers publication serves as a critical resource highlighting leading research and expert perspectives.”
We encourage you to share this opportunity with your peers and colleagues. Learn more about the Privacy Papers for Policymakers program and view previous year’s highlights and winning papers on our website.
FPF will invite winning papers focused on U.S. policy to present their work at an annual event in Washington, D.C., in March 2025, with top policymakers and privacy leaders. Winning papers focused on international policy will be invited to showcase their work focused on global policymakers and data protection authorities in a virtual event in March 2025. FPF will also publish a printed digest of the summaries of the winning papers for distribution to policymakers in the United States and abroad.
Learn more and submit finished papers by October 11, 2024. Please note that the deadline for student submissions is the same. You can also learn more about last year’s event here.
