DTPS2021: Data Transparency in Public Space 2021 Amsterdam, Netherlands, October 6-7, 2021

Conference Information

The NWO funded research group BRIDE (BRIdging Data in the built Environment) and AMS Institute’s Responsible Sensing Lab are coming together to co-host a conference on data transparency in public space.

Cities have increasingly been collecting and analyzing data generated from sensors in public space. This conference will explore how data collecting capabilities and uses are made available (and understandable) to the general public.

Scholars, activists, legal experts, city planners, citizens, data scientists, and students will come together to better understand:

1. the global legal status of data transparency in public space
2. how data transparency in public space works in practice
3. prototypes and ideas for the future based on the needs of the general public as well as corporate and governmental stakeholders.

We welcome you either virtually or in person with us in Amsterdam (limited "in-person" space available) to discuss and learn about these issues.

If you intend to present previously published work, please make that clear in your application and make sure you have the appropriate permission from your publisher to proceed. We are accepting abstracts for papers, posters/artwork, and workshops. The quality/uniqueness of work and adherence to conference theme is more important than credentials.
