Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) get involved in societal processes of discussion and interpretation\, analysi s and critique\, negotiation and revision of data protection and data prot ection law. Their expertise is sought after in legislative processes\, and their power of interpretation is dreaded by controllers. They are praised as defenders of fundamental rights in the information society and cursed as enemies of progress and blockers at the same time. However\, they rarel y have been an object of scientific investigation themselves so far.Our in terdisciplinary workshop aims at bringing together scholars and practition ers to shed light on the role of DPAs in the governance of privacy and dat a protection. We especially want to focus on processes: the cooperation ac ross borders\, the exchange and debate with data controllers\, politics an d civil society\, the negotiation\, interpretation and implementation of s tandards and laws. In particular\, we want to debate how DPAs act in the v arious social discussion and negotiation fora\, and how their action is en abled\, enhanced or limited by their legal and institutional form\, their staff and disciplinary backgrounds\, the infrastructure and individuals wh o – like Spiros Simitis or Ann Cavoukian – are particularly visible as data protection commissioners. A special focus is on the new General Data Protection Regulation\, both in terms of the DPAs’ contribution in the process of its creation as well as the future role of supervisory authorit ies. The question is\, in what areas and fora DPAs are more successful so far in exerting influence than in others\, whether there are differences b etween DPAs with regard to their influence\, and which legal or institutio nal conditions and/or strategies might explain these differences. Moreover \, it remains to be discussed\, which role DPAs play in negotiating and sh aping regulatory regimes – from "traditional" top-down regulation to (re gulated) self-regulation –\, what their objectives are and to what exten t these objectives reflect the institutional interests of the regulators t hemselves.We furthermore will pay special attention to the challenges that arise for DPAs from the multidisciplinarity of the privacy problem\, the increasing self-limitation of the debate to expert circles\, and the need for imparting the problem and possible solutions to a (legal as well as te chnical) lay audience.We look forward to your contributions to one or more of the following or related areas:\n\n the DPAs’ self-perception\, and its formulation and communication\n the national\, regional and global c ooperation between data protection authorities (Conference of Data Protect ion Commissioners of the Federal Republic and the Federal States\, Düssel dorfer Kreis\, Article 29 Working Party\, International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners\, Global Privacy Enforcement Network (GPEN))\n the DPAs’ communication with the public and in public\, with stakeholders from businesses and the public administration\, from politic s and civil society\, from science and practice\n the DPAs’ regulatory strategies between sanctioning and constructive cooperation\n the DPAs as experts and as stakeholders in legislative processes on the national and European level\, in research and development projects\n the DPAs’ pract ice: controlling\, examining\, evaluating procedures (systems\, processes\ , data)\n the DPAs as first instances (and "trend-setters"?) for interpre ting laws and norms\n the DPAs as actors in scholarly\, especially interd isciplinary debates\n competences\, structures and processes in DPAs enab ling and limiting monitoring and controlling data processing\n European p erspectives\, i.a. the representation of member states\, regions and their peculiarities and interests in the future European Data Protection Board (EDPB)\n\nPlease submit your contribution (or a draft thereof) no later th an April 30\, 2016\, as a PDF via e-mail to joerg.pohle@hiig.de.\n\n ful l paper: 8 to 10 pages\, approx. 2\,000 words\n short paper: 4 to 6 pages \, approx. 1\,000 words\n draft paper: max. 2 pages\, approx. 400 words ( please indicate whether you are aiming for a short paper or a full paper)\ n\nAll accepted contributions will be made available to the workshop parti cipants in advance.The workshop will take place May 20\, 2016\, in Berlin\ , Germany.The keynote address will be delivered by Marit Hansen\, Data Pro tection Commissioner of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.
