Solid Symposium 2026 - Call for Contributions to the Privacy & Personal Data Management Session
Beatriz Gonçalves Crisóstomo Esteves (UGent-imec)
The 4th Privacy & Personal Data Management Session of the Solid Symposium 2025 aims to bring together computer scientists and legal-ethical experts to discuss Solid as a concrete system for data governance, in order to ground the debate on emergent problems from both a technical and legal perspective.
In this edition, we aim to continue the discussions around technical and legal privacy aspects that should be incorporated into Solid. We aim to draw from a broad interdisciplinary perspective on privacy and personal data management, including human-centric perspectives on privacy and the emergence of personal data spaces and digital wallets. Towards this aim, the programme will be a mix of flash talks from extended abstracts and presentations of short papers to showcase the current state of research and trajectories in privacy-related research in Solid.
