The General Data Protection Regulation applies across the European Union since over two year and is part of a modernised EU data protection legislative framework. Despite however the experience that been accumulated over the past years on practical implementation of privacy and data protection requirements, there is still a long way to go. This is largely due to the lack of proper integration of these requirements in the ‘heart’ of systems operation ‘by design’ and ‘by default’. At the same time, in an era of new technological and societal challenges, such as Artificial Intelligence and tracing apps, personal data may be processed by an unknown chain of entities. Therefore, examining what is at stake and where threats thereto originate from becomes of paramount importance.
In the light of the above, ENISA, DG CONNECT and the University of Oslo are organizing the Annual Privacy Forum (APF) 2021.
In APF 2021, we invite papers presenting original work on the themes of data protection and privacy and their repercussions on technology, business, government, law, society, policy and law enforcement. An inter-disciplinary approach is high in demand to contribute to bridging the gap between research, business models and policy, much like proposing new models and interpretations.

Student Papers
In order to encourage participation of young researchers, the submission of papers by students is encouraged. These papers will be treated as thoroughly as full papers, but can be shorter (up to 4000 words, excluding bibliography) and reflect novel thinking that might not have been fully elaborated just yet.
Short Papers
In addition to student papers, short papers are also invited as this call is open to anyone who has a sketch of an idea, opinion or a call for collaboration. Short papers should be up to 4000 words, excluding bibliography and should not overlap with work published elsewhere.
Review and Publication
Submissions of original work are invited; papers must not overlap substantially with work already published or simultaneously submitted to a journal or a proceedings bearing venue. Submissions must be drafted in English and they need to comply with the Springer LNCS style guide, which can be found here and here. All submissions will be thoroughly reviewed by our PC members. We aim at minimum 3 reviews per paper. Authors must submit their papers according to conditions and within the deadline communicated on the conference web site (https://privacyforum.eu).
