Invitation for opinion articles 2014 (to be announced)

One of the main objectives of APF is to act as a bridge for closing links between the different communities involved in shaping the privacy scenario: policy makers, industry, academic sector and civil society organizations. With this aim, APF tries to engage individuals for all these different sectors which have an impact on the setting the privacy environment and trends.

To give an opportunity for a more proactive engagement to the other stakeholder communities, which don’t fall under the scope research call for papers, APF has decided to create a special APF electronic magazine aimed to collect opinion articles from relevant experts in the area of privacy.

With this aim, APF makes an invitation to submit opinion articles on the topics on privacy to individuals involved in the following communities:

• Policy makers and supervisory authorities in the area of privacy at an EU and Member State level;

• Industry experts, especially those from sectors involved in the processing of large volumes of personal data, as well those involved in the development of IT systems that support the processing of personal data;

• Members of non-governmental organizations and civil society associations with a focus on privacy;

More information will be published on www.privacyforum.eu  this autumn.
