CPDP LATAM 2023 –Data Protection, Cooperation, and Innovation in Latin America

CPDP LatAm 2023 is hosted by the Center for Technology and Society at FGV Law School, in Rio de Janeiro, on 19 and 20 July 2023.  CPDP LatAm is the Latin American edition of Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) Conference – an international distinguished event that has been happening for over 15 years in Brussels, Belgium. The third  edition of CPDP LatAm will be dedicated to “Data Protection, Cooperation, and Innovation in Latin America”. The CPDP LatAm programme will have a whole track dedicated to MyData Latin America, in which innovative data protection approaches and concepts will be explored. 
This year, CPDP LatAm combines the Latin American edition of the Computers, Privacy and Data Protection (CPDP) conference, the MyData LatAm conference, and the Privacy Law Scholars Conference LatAm (PLSC LatAm). 
The CPDP LatAm Call for Papers 2023 focus on Data Protection, Cooperation, and Innovation in Latin America. Contributions from all disciplines related to the conference theme are welcome, and interdisciplinar papers are highly encouraged.
Submissions are welcomed in English, Portuguese and Spanish.  This call for papers welcome authors willing to produce complete articles to be published in the official publications of CPDP LatAm. Their articles must be original and exclusively submited to this process - thus, without having been submitted to any other publications in advance. Non-accepted articles are free to be submited to other publications.
