Global Mobility and Security Workshop: the EU ethical and political landscape, Brussels Belgium
23 September 2010 - 24 September 2010
China
The workshop, chaired by Prof Niovi Pavlidou , will be held in the framework of the RISE (Rising Pan‐European and International Awareness of Biometrics and Security Ethics) project.
RISE is a “track 2” initiative, funded by the European Commission in the scope of FP7 Science in Society, which aims to provide an open, international forum to discuss ethical, privacy and social issues raised by biometrics and security technologies. RISE aims to complement bilateral and multilateral forums sponsored at governmental level. In particular the project aims to deepen, enlarge and ensure continuity to international dialogue already initiated by the international conferences on ethics and biometrics organised by the EC DG Research and the US DHS Privacy Office respectively in Brussels and Washington DC in 2005 and 2006.
The three sessions of the workshop will focus on:
(a) governance, ethics and trust in the information society,
(b) ethical implications of identity management,
(c) privacy and anonymity in a networked environment,
It will address relevant topics such as human mobility and fundamental human rights, trust in the information society, trust and surveillance technologies, online anonymity and cybercrime, children protection online.
Attendance is by invitation only. Places are very limited. If you are interested in attending, please send your name, affiliation and a short letter of motivation to the workshop Chair, Prof. Niovi Pavlidou, at niovi@auth.gr by Friday, 17 September 2010.
