A Conference/Forum is going to be held in London, UK, on 21 November, focusing on “Privacy enhancing technologies: How to create a trusted information society”:
“Organised by three of the UK’s Knowledge Transfer Networks (KTN), and supported by the European Commission, A Fine Balance 2007 is an independent forum for discussing privacy in relation to the development of new technology. Building on last year’s event of the same name, this year’s conference discusses the development and integration of technologies which can build privacy into new devices and services at the design stage.
Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) will encourage industry to recognise that valuable emerging technologies can be designed with privacy and data security in-mind from the outset. On May 2nd, the European Commission adopted a Communication "Promoting Data Protection by Privacy enhancing Technologies (PETs)" in which it calls for stepping up research in and development of PETs. In this context, the outcomes of this event will be taken under consideration by the European Commission in its formulation of upcoming work programmes for funding calls in this area of the FP7 - ICT programme and will influence the direction of future research in the fields of privacy and technology.”
Apparently part of this forum/conference can also be followed in a “Web 2.0 workshop” on Second Life.
More information about EU initiatives on PET can be fond here. PRIME Project is mentioned as one of them …
