Short Description
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). CPDP LatAm 2022 will be held at FGV Rio de Janeiro, in July 2022. The CPDP LatAm Call for Papers 2022 will be dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and Data Protection in Latin America.
Submissions in English that successfully complete the peer review process will be published in a CPDP LatAm special issue of the Computer Law & Security Review, edited by Prof Luca Belli and Prof Nicolo Zingales. Submissions in Portuguese and Spanish that successfully complete the peer review process will be published in a CPDP LatAm special issue of Revista Brasileira de Direitos Fundamentais e Justiça [Brazilian Journal of Fundamental Rights and Justice] (Qualis A2), edited by Prof Danilo Doneda, Prof Ingo Sarlet and Prof Ivar Hartmann.
Research grants and prizes for best interdisciplinary papers
Authors of articles included in the CPDP LatAm special issues will receive a research grant of 5000 Brazilian Reais (approximately 1000 USD as of August 2021) and a waiver of the participation fee for CPDP LatAm 2022, which will be hosted by the Center for Technology and Society at FGV Law School, Rio de Janeiro, in July 2022.
The CPDP LatAm Scientific Committee will also award a 5000 Brazilian Reais (approximately 1000 USD) prize for the best interdisciplinary paper, and a 2500 Brazilian Reais (approximately 500 USD) prize to the two runners-up (in addition to the above-mentioned research grants).
Research grants and prizes represent the total amount that will be paid for each paper, regardless of the number of authors. In other words, the total amount of 5000 Brazilian Reais for any research grant and any 5000 Brazilian Reais prize will be transferred to the individual identified as corresponding author, who will have the responsibility of redistributing among any eventual co-authors.
The prize for the best interdisciplinary paper is organised in partnership with Computer Law & Security Review.
Authors may choose to refuse to receive a stipend and devolve it to a charity – yet to be identified – to support people adversely affected by the Covid19 pandemic.
About CPDP LatAm
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 13 years in Brussels, Belgium. The second edition of CPDP LatAm will be dedicated to “Artificial Intelligence, Automation and Data Protection in Latin America”. CPDP LatAm will have a whole day dedicated to the Latin American meeting of MyData, in which innovative data protection approaches and concepts will be explored, and the Latin American meeting of Privacy Law Scholars Conference (PLSC), in which proposals for ongoing studies will be discussed in a closed manner to receive feedback.
This call for papers targets authors willing to produce complete articles to be published in the official publications of CPDP LatAm without having submitted their draft to any other publications.
The authors of the submissions selected for the peer review process will also have the possibility to participate in PLSC Latam, a closed event aimed at debating and receiving feedback from peers.
