16:15 – 18:45     Special session: Multidisciplinary aspects of Privacy by design

The concept of Privacy by Design has in recent years been developed in the field of engineering and also been worded as a legal principle. This illustrates that in order for Privacy by Design to work in practice and become a reality in the Industry, experts from different disciplines (technical, legal, business) should learn to work together. Each one has a role to play to deliver products and services that take into account privacy from the start. PbD is about organizational change. Is law the right tool for PbD to reach business practices? How can ongoing standardization initiatives take this reality into account? How can those who ultimately stand to profit from PbD – users and citizens – become involved in PbD processes?  The purpose of the special session, consisting of a keynote and a panel, is to support the development of a wider framework for PbD: beyond a purely legal view, beyond a regulatory view, beyond a purely technical view. We want to work towards PbD as a multidisciplinary and also very practical undertaking, towards developing a repository of materials, case studies (both of successes and of failures) and lessons learned, collaboration options, etc.

09:30 – 10:30     Panel I: Ethical approach to data processing

The panel will look at the need to assess the ethical dimension of new ways of using personal information based on Big Data and the Internet of Things. Challenges go beyond the application of the data protection rules. An ethical approach to data processing recognises that feasible, useful or profitable does not equal sustainable. It requires technologists to respond to their responsibility towards society.

This panel will look at specific issues of technical approaches to ensuring privacy with a particular focus on the use of personal information for pharmaceutical research. It will examine platforms that implement the privacy-by-design principle and also give the user the technical tools to control the use of his/her data. It will study the state of the art in the area of anonymisation as well as the legal framework conditions as the evolve.

 15:30 – 16:30     Panel III: Economics of PETs

Privacy on the Internet is one of the most important and widely discussed topics that has become a concern. Emerging business models of huge companies are built upon the collection and analysis of digital traces (or even personal information) of Internet users. On the contrary, there are attempts to create businesses by empowering users with tools that help them to retain control over their data. What is the actual demand for privacy enhancing techniques by businesses and individuals? Are there sustainable business areas for this field? Are existing technologies mature enough to meet the real needs? How to communicate the value of privacy to the end-users and convince them to benefit from the additional asset that privacy enhancing techniques bring? The panel session will address these issues by including speakers from industry, academia, as well as stakeholders and governmental bodies working in the field.
