We invite submissions of academic paper proposals as well as proposals for workshops, hackathons and project presentations. The conference will combine academic analysis and practical workshops.



Two years after the Snowden revelations started, the conference "Surveillance and Citizenship" will review their impacts and consequences for state policy, technological development, internet uses and the media. It will address the following questions:

• What is the policy environment for surveillance and the work of intelligence agencies? Which policy reform proposals have emerged? • Which technical platforms have been particularly vulnerable; what tools exist for secure communication; and what standards are required for privacy protection? • What is the level of public reaction? How do people perceive digital surveillance? • What are the implications of surveillance for journalism, activism and social movements? • Have the media reported accurately on the leaks? Which challenges have emerged for journalists?
• What is the nature of citizenship in the 'Snowden Era'?
