Privacy Research and Data Responsibility Research Coordination Network

对隐私的担忧继续弥漫在大数据、云服务和物联网等技术的大规模部署中。拟议工作的主要目的是建立一个学术研究人员和行业从业者社区，以解决新发布的国家隐私研究战略中确定的研究优先事项。通过让行业利益相关者与研究人员接触，并推动新的思维、研究、最佳实践和实用工具，这项工作将推动行业行动，并倡导以尊重个人隐私、平等和公平的方式收集和处理个人信息的隐私意识方法。这个项目旨在增加创新机会，为行业部门和机构的个人信息提供有意义的保护，向公众提供有关隐私的辩论，并促进系统和产品的开发，以帮助社会在不牺牲隐私和个人权利的情况下实现网络信息技术的好处。该项目将开展主要活动，如首届启动会议和一系列学术研讨会和联网机会。讨论的问题将包括鼓励和支持针对隐私挑战的连续统一体的多学科研究的机制，包括如何提高数据收集和使用的透明度；确保数据流符合隐私规则；以及降低分析算法的隐私风险。它强调行业从业者与学术研究人员的接触，进一步发展了一个跨学科和部门的隐私研究人员社区，致力于促进新的知识、技术和做法，以更好地保护个人隐私。

Concerns about privacy continue to pervade large-scale deployments of technologies including big data, cloud services and the Internet of Things. The main purpose of the proposed work is to build a community of academic researchers and industry practitioners to address research priorities identified in the newly released National Privacy Research Strategy. By engaging industry stakeholders with researchers and advancing new thinking, research, best practices and practical tools, this work will prompt industry action and advocate privacy-aware approaches to collecting and processing personal information in a manner that respects individual privacy, equality and fairness. This project aims to enhance opportunities for innovation, provide meaningful protections for personal information across industry sectors and institutions, inform the public debate on privacy, and contribute to the development of systems and products used to help society realize the benefits of networked information technology without sacrificing privacy and individual rights.The project will undertake major activities such as an inaugural launch conference and a series of academic workshops and networking opportunities. Issues for discussion will include mechanisms to encourage and support multi-disciplinary research along a continuum of privacy challenges, including how to increase transparency of data collection and use; to ensure data flows are consistent with privacy rules; and to reduce privacy risks of analytical algorithms. Its emphasis on engagement of industry practitioners with academic researchers furthers the development of a community of privacy researchers working across disciplines and sectors and dedicated to the promotion of new knowledge, techniques and practices to better protect individual privacy.
