Following the format of PLSC in the United States, PLSC Europe is a conference for discussing work in progress. In the PLSC format, discussants, rather than authors, present and kick off a discussion on an assigned paper. There are no panels or presentations by the authors and everyone is a "participant”, offering their best questions and insights to stimulate discussion on fresh scholarship. There is no opportunity or obligation to publish connected to the conference.
Our goal is to improve and provide support for in-progress scholarship on a wide variety of issues and topics that touch upon privacy in its broadest interpretation. As such, we very much welcome submissions from different (sub)disciplines, taking alternative angles to privacy and data governance more broadly.
This year’s edition of PLSC Europe is organised alongside the DTDM-Conference “City Data Governance”, which focuses on the impact of the new EU Data Act and the Data Governance Act at the municipality level (more information to be announced soon). With that in mind, we particularly invite people to submit paper abstracts relating to the growing field of data law, including city data governance.
Submission Guidelines
Your abstract should include enough specific information to enable the program committee to appreciate both the genesis of your project and the nature of its contribution to the field. Your abstract should elaborate on your objective, research question(s) and methodology. It should also show your awareness of the existing relevant literatures and explain how your work relates to those literatures, such as how it expands upon them, makes connections between them, or differs from them. A typical (law) journal abstract will generally be insufficient for this purpose.
Please be prepare to enter the following information through out submission platform:
-
Title + anonymous abstract of 400-700 words
-
Author(s) information and affiliation(s). Submissions should be transparent about relevant sponsorship and conflicts of interest
-
Five keywords
-
Indicative bibliography
Please note: If your own prior work is part of a literature to which your abstract refers, the abstract should refer to your work in the third person--e.g. “As Smith argued in (2019),” rather than "my/our work published in the XYZ law review" or "my/our work presented at last year's PLSC." Please note: Abstracts that violate this rule and reveal the identity of the autho(s) will be rejected. There is no option to upload papers or materials.
Any funding and sponsorship must be disclosed. We require a conflict of interest statement on scholarship.
