PLSC-EUROPE 2018 CALL FOR PAPERS

PLSC-Europe 2018 will be held in Brussels on Saturday 27 January 2018,
right after CPDP2018 (http://www.cpdpconferences.org). CPDP - Computers,
Privacy & Data Protection conference - is an annual gathering of
academics, lawyers, practitioners, policy-makers, industry, and civil
society from all over the world. Its 11th edition, "The Internet of
Bodies", will take place from Wednesday 24 January to Friday 26 January
2018. PLSC-Europe will follow on Saturday 27 January 2018.

Based on the popular Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC) event in the
United States, PLSC-Europe is dedicated to bringing together privacy law
scholars, practitioners, and privacy scholars from other disciplines
from across Europe and beyond to discuss current issues. PLSC-Europe
aims at fostering greater connections between academia and practice
(industry, legal, advocacy, and government), and at bringing together
law scholars with academics and professionals from other disciplines
(e.g. economics, philosophy, political science, computer science). The
first PLSC-Europe was held in October 2015 in conjunction with the
Amsterdam Privacy Conference, and the second one in May 2017, in
conjunction with TILTing Perspectives 2017. From 2017 onwards,
PLSC-Europe became a regular event co-organized by the University of
Amsterdam (IvIR), Tilburg University (TILT), and the Free University
Brussels (LSTS/Privacy Salon), alternating between Amsterdam, Tilburg,
and Brussels. The third edition of PLSC-Europe will be held on 27
January 2018 in Brussels.

PLSC is a paper workshop. Papers are not available, and proceedings will
not be released. The papers discussed are works in progress, and so will
not be publicly released, nor publicized: the ideas presented by the
authors are often still developing, and need further incubation before
being finalised. In a PLSC paper workshop, a "commenter" leads a
discussion among participants on an author's paper. Authors are
encouraged to listen to the discussion, rather than steer it or
participate actively to it. There are no panels or keynotes at PLSC: the
idea is to help the author by giving feedback and advice on the paper.
Workshops are informal and friendly in nature.
