> Safety and Security in a Networked World: Balancing Cyber-Rights and 
> Responsibilities
>
>  Date: 8-10 September 2005
>  Location: Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
>  Attendance: The registration process for this event will open in the 
> spring.
> The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is organising a major conference, 
> in collaboration with the University of Auckland, NetSafe (the New 
> Zealand government backed Internet Safety Group), EURIM and others, to 
> address the value choices and conflicts surrounding cybersafety in a 
> converging world. The conference will feature leading international 
> authorities from government, industry, NGOs and academia, including 
> the computer sciences, humanities, law and the social sciences. It 
> will be held between 8th and 10th September 2005 at the University of 
> Oxford.
> At a time when reports of the apparent risks of the Internet receive 
> ever more media coverage, the conference aims to encourage debate 
> around the complex web of issues, assumptions and trade-offs that must 
> be addressed if progress is to be made in improving online safety and 
> security at a personal, national and international level. Accepting 
> that there are no 'quick fixes' to be supplied by any one sector, 
> organization or nation, the conference will seek to encourage dialogue 
> between citizens, users, governments, law enforcement agencies, 
> industry and education both by inviting participants from a wide 
> variety of sectors to attend the conference, and in identifying 
> fruitful areas for future co-operation in practice.
> Conference Themes
> The conference will address a wide range of topics around the central 
> theme of improving online safety and security. Other key themes of the 
> conference will include:
>
> 	• 	Discussion of the value conflicts and trade-offs involved in 
> addressing online risks.
> 	• 	Exploration of the legal and national differences which will shape 
> attempts to define international standards or regulations.
> 	• 	Consideration of the speed of change and the implications of 
> technological convergence.
> Suggested Topics:
>
>  A range of speakers from academia, government, industry, law 
> enforcement and NGOs will be invited. In addition, the Oxford Internet 
> Institute invites papers from policy-makers, practitioners and 
> academics on topics that address specific aspects of online security 
> or safety in conjunction with at least one of the other three themes 
> outlined above. Papers with an explicitly international focus and 
> those that have clear implications for policy and practice are 
> especially welcomed. Possible topics might include:
>
> 	• 	Censorship, illegal content and unwanted content
> 	• 	Child development, education, media literacy and the Internet
> 	• 	Children's use of the Internet, including access via mobile phones
