Hello everyone,

Can you help spread the word about PETS (and the newly announced stipends) to the people you know who care about applied privacy research, censorship, surveillance, etc?

The conference is in the US this year, which I expect will be a problem for some people, but hopefully not for everybody.

(PETS 2018 estará en Barcelona, para aquellos de ustedes que prefieren un país español.)

Thanks! --Roger

Hi tor-talk!

The PETS conference is where all of the academic privacy / anonymity experts gather each year: https://petsymposium.org/

This year it's in Minneapolis, July 18-21. Please consider joining us -- and if you do, be sure to stay for the hike on July 22, which is where many interactions and collaborations move forward.

The list of accepted papers is up (and of course it is open access): https://petsymposium.org/2017/paperlist.php

Thanks to the generosity of the National Science Foundation and (hopefully) Ford Foundation, we have stipends available again this year, to help get people to the symposium: https://petsymposium.org/2017/stipends.php

The deadline for stipend application is May 31.

We especially want to use the stipends to attract perspectives and motivations that are different from the usual academic research-and-publishing crowd. In the past we've had great participation from people who care about building and deploying the tools (aka hackers and activists), and from people who care about the societal implications of the research (aka artists and politicians).

Thanks! --Roger
