PLSC-Europe 2024: Amsterdam

This year’s edition of PLSC Europe is organised in Amsterdam, alongside the DTDM-Conference “City Data Governance”, which focuses on the impact of the new EU Data Act and the Data Governance Act at the municipality level (more information to be announced soon). With that in mind, we particularly invite people to submit paper abstracts relating to the growing field of data law, including city data governance.

Participation Registration

We welcome submissions and registration from all backgrounds, jurisdictions and levels of seniority. Please note that conference participants will be expected to read the papers of the sessions they attend in advance to ensure high-quality discussions. Thus, please plan for sufficient preparation time in advance of the conference. The papers will be made available to conference participants on October 1st, 2024, the latest.

Registration fees are as follows:

  • Standard: € 175;
  • Students/NGO’s: € 95.

Limited funds might be available for covering travel expenses of some participants. We will prioritise people without institutional backing and coming from outside the EU/US.

Schedule and overview of accepted abstracts

You can find the PLSC-Europe 2024 schedule here. The schedule might be subject to minor changes.

The program committee has reviewed the abstracts in a double-blind procedure. You can find an overview of the accepted abstracts here. Workshop versions of the paper are due 1 October 2024. We reserve the right to cancel workshops if the paper draft is not provided on time for meaningful evaluation by participants.

Funding

PLSC-Europe will be funded through institutional funds and registration fees only (standard: € 175, students/NGO’s: € 95). We will not seek corporate sponsorship for the conference.
