Call for Papers CPDP2022 -
Data Protection & Privacy in Transitional Times


The Computers, Privacy and Data Protection conference (CPDP) is an annual
three-day conference devoted to privacy and data protection. The 15th edition
of CPDP will be held on the 26th to 28th of January 2022 in Brussels.* Whilst
a number of speakers are specifically invited by the conference, several slots
remain open to application through an annual call for papers. This Call for
Papers is addressed to all researchers who wish to present their papers at the
next CPDP conference.

The submissions are split into two tracks. The first one is dedicated to
experienced researchers (i.e. postdoctoral researchers, professors etc.),
while the second one welcomes PhD students and other junior researchers.
Contributions are welcome from all disciplines with perspectives on the themes
of the conference. The dual-track structure of the CPDP2022 Call for Papers
aims to meet the increasing interest of researchers - from all levels and from
multiple disciplines - in CPDP and their expectations in terms of academic
feedback and exchange.**

Please check the submission instructions below and submit your contribution
through the EasyChair conference system through the following
link by 4th of
October.

The overarching theme of the 2022 edition is 'Data Protection & Privacy in
Transitional Times'. CPDP thus takes as its focus the major shifts in
technology adoption driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting
increased reliance on digital technologies and infrastructures. This situation
has in turn escalated calls for 'digital sovereignty' in Europe and beyond,
where we see a reassertion of nations, sovereignty, and borders in myriad
ways. Among the most evident realities of the pandemic was sorting populations
back into their nations of passport. This has also enabled new means of
establishing and justifying borders with long term closures and the
introduction of new digital identity infrastructure such as vaccine
passports.

Besides bidding to form future models for data governance and the data
economy, the EU has also laid out plans to pioneer legislation governing the
use of Artificial Intelligence. In this pivotal moment, engaging in
transatlantic, multidisciplinary dialogue has become of central significance.
Amidst all these developments, what does the future hold for data protection?
What is law's task in the wake of a pandemic which has exacerbated
inequalities and unjust data practices? While "data as asset" approach is
gaining a stronghold in political discourse, what are the future imaginaries
for data protection law? Looking towards the future, how might we design vital
technological infrastructures to minimise data protection and fundamental
rights risks?

CPDP2022 will serve as a platform to discuss, and seek answers, to these
questions and many more.

We welcome cutting edge papers in all areas related to technology, privacy and
data protection, but particularly invite submissions that fit the general
conference theme.


Relevant Fields & Topics

The CPDP Scientific
Committee invites
papers in the fields of law, social sciences, philosophy and computer sciences
(as well as other relevant fields). Multidisciplinary papers are especially
welcome. In particular, this call aims to reach researchers whose works relate
to new technologies, privacy and data protection. Selected researchers will
have the opportunity to present their papers in the academic sessions of the
conference. Although, the main theme highlighted this year is 'Data Protection
& Privacy in Transitional Times', we welcome any original topics related to
the general themes of the conference.

Follow this link for more information
about the topics presented at previous editions of CPDP.

In case of doubt regarding the suitability of a contribution for the
conference, please contact Ana Hriscu.


Key Dates


  *   Deadline for submissions: 4th of October
  *   Notification to authors: 4th of December


Submission Instructions

Authors responding to this Call for Papers are asked to submit a full paper
via a dedicated webpage on the EasyChair system, together with a short
abstract and up to 5 keywords. Authors must choose between a junior and senior
track. In case of papers co-authored by both junior and senior researchers, we
advise to decide on the basis of the first author. Authors are asked to
indicate the relevant research discipline.

Papers should be between 6000 and 8000 words in length, excluding footnotes
and bibliography. Authors should make use of the Chicago reference style
(Notes-Bibliography system).
The text of the paper must not include the name of the author(s) and all
self-references should be deleted. Submissions not meeting these criteria risk
rejection without consideration of quality.

Proposed contributions and all required information should be submitted
through the EasyChair conference system following this
link.

Papers will be selected on the basis of their quality. All submitted papers
will be peer reviewed by members of the CPDP2022 Scientific
Committee (and other
independent reviewers where necessary) and will be commented upon by
distinguished scholars. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their
papers will be presented at the conference: at least one author of each
accepted paper is required to register for the conference and to present the
paper. Accepted papers will be considered for publication in the conference
book published by Hart Publishing.

Selected authors - one for each paper - will receive free entrance for the
duration of the conference. Funding for travel expenses may be available for
PhD Candidates who cannot cover their own costs. If you require funding,
please get in touch.
For further details on the conference structure and its main topic areas,
interested researchers are invited to visit
www.cpdpconferences.org or to contact
info@cpdpconferences.org.

*CPDP is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation and we will follow
recommendations concerning travel and public events. At this time, we are
continuing preparations for CPDP2022 to take place in Brussels on January
26-28, 2022. However, we will review this on an ongoing basis as well as
engaging in contingency planning. We are also working on alternatives to the
physical conference. We will update you on any decisions promptly.

** The CPDP organizers reserve a right to merge presentations of papers
submitted within the junior and senior tracks in the joint panels.
