Privacy R&D Workshop

The workshop was structured in two parts. The first part had four “domain” panels with government, industry, and academic representatives on each panel. The purpose of these panels was to elucidate the “domain” needs of a sector and in that context, the technical capabilities and opportunities for the research community. The second part of the workshop focused on developing a consensus statement on the need for a concerted effort to address privacy R&D and developing a strategy for communicating this consensus statement to relevant stakeholders. The workshop concluded with a reception.

TRAVEL & REIMBURSMENT

The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) covers travel expenses for all participants who desire it. Participants make their own travel arrangements in advance, including purchasing airline tickets and making hotel reservations at the workshop hotel. Following the symposium, CCC circulates a reimbursement form that participants complete and submit, along with copies of receipts for amounts exceeding $75.

In general, standard Federal travel policies apply: CCC reimburses for non-refundable economy airfare on U.S. Flag carriers; and no alcohol will be covered.
