RCN: Applied Privacy Research Coordination Network: An Industry-Academic Network to Transition Promising Privacy Research to Practice

隐私论坛教育和创新基金会（FPF EIF）的未来正在建立应用隐私研究协调网络（应用隐私RCN），以支持学术隐私研究向商业实践的过渡，为隐私学者提供持续的，结构化的网络和机会，以满足参与其研究领域的行业领导者并建立工作伙伴关系。应用隐私RCN将促进新的知识，技术和实践，以更好地保护个人隐私。尖端的隐私研究可以带来尖端的商业应用--但前提是隐私研究人员和企业隐私领导者能够相互联系。该RCN提供有针对性的机制，以弥合学术和行业实践之间的差距。RCN将把研究人员与来自世界顶级公司的隐私领导者和各商业领域的创新者聚集在一起，与世界上最大的隐私专业协会和顶级行业贸易协会合作，并扩大对国际受众和市场的影响。RCN将加速行业行动，并帮助将有前景的隐私研究转化为现实世界的实践，以尊重个人隐私的方式处理个人信息。为了实现这些目标，RCN将组织学术参与FPF行业特定工作组的月度会议并在会议上发表演讲，并与FPF EIF的企业成员进行直接交流和介绍。它将在FPF咨询委员会年度会议上组织一系列学术研究人员向行业从业者的演讲，国际隐私专业人员协会（IAPP）的全球峰会，FPF EIF年度活动的新活动，政策制定者的隐私文件，以及旨在建立隐私研究人员和行业的国际合作的国际研讨会。这些活动将吸引研究生和博士生参与，支持初级学者出版机会，并开发实习机会。通过其策略和方法，RCN进一步发展了隐私研究人员的社区，并建立了更广泛的实践领域。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

The Future of Privacy Forum Education and Innovation Foundation (FPF EIF) is establishing the Applied Privacy Research Coordination Network (Applied Privacy RCN) to support the transition of academic privacy research to commercial practice by providing ongoing, structured networking and opportunities for privacy scholars to meet industry leaders involved in their research areas and develop working partnerships. The Applied Privacy RCN will promote new knowledge, techniques and practices to better protect individual privacy. Cutting-edge privacy research can lead to cutting-edge commercial applications -- but only if privacy researchers and corporate privacy leaders are connected. This RCN offers targeted mechanisms to bridge the gap between scholarship and industry practice. The RCN will bring researchers together with privacy leaders from the world's top companies and innovators across business sectors, engage the world's largest privacy professional association and top industry trade associations, and expand reach to international audiences and markets. The RCN will accelerate industry action and help transition promising privacy research to real-world practice where personal information is handled in a manner that respects individual privacy.To accomplish these goals, the RCN will organize academic participation in and presentations to monthly meetings of FPF industry-specific working groups and direct communications and introductions with FPF EIF's corporate members. It will organize a series of presentations of academic researchers to industry practitioners at the annual in-person meeting of the FPF Advisory Board, the global summit conference of the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), a new event at the FPF EIF's marquee annual event, Privacy Papers for Policymakers, and at an international workshop designed to build international collaborations of privacy researchers and industry. The events will attract graduate and doctoral student participants, support junior scholar publishing opportunities, and develop internship opportunities. Through its strategies and methods, the RCN furthers the development of a community of privacy researchers and builds the wider field of practice.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
