Dear colleagues,

Automation Systems Group and AIT Safety and Security Department are 
happy to invite you to the next talk within our "Cyber Security Lecture 
Series".

The lecture will be given by Dr. Niels van Dijk and Dariusz Kloza, Vrije 
Universiteit Brussels.

Title: Seven Deadly Sins against privacy and personal data protection in 
the (European) smart grids roll-out
Date: Wednesday, 21st October 2015; 16:30 - 18:00
Location: FH 8 Nöbauer HS - Turm B, gelber Bereich, 2. OG

Abstract: Smart grids offer novel means of energy governance and promise 
an adequate response to environmental, societal and technical 
developments of the 21st century. Yet, at the same time, they are 
capable of invading the sacrosanctity of the most privacy-sensitive 
place - the home. In this lecture, Dariusz Kloza and Niels van Dijk will 
sketch several societal challenges that smart grids pose and amongst 
these the threat of abusive surveillance practices. They will next 
overview and critically assess the "light" regulatory approach that the 
European Union (EU) has taken as a response thereto. By pointing out the 
seven major drawbacks of this "light" approach, they will argue that its 
core element, i.e. a data protection impact assessment (DPIA) framework, 
is rather a missed opportunity. In their opinion, impact assessments of 
emerging technologies must be inclusive, easy to use and flexible, 
satisfying certain quality criteria.

Bios:

Dr Niels van Dijk is a post-doctoral research fellow at the Research 
Group on Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) at the Vrije 
Universiteit Brussels (VUB) and at the Institute for Computer and 
Information Sciences (ICIS) at Radboud University Nijmegen. He is also a 
lecturer in legal philosophy at the Saint-Louis University (USBL) in 
Brussels. As a researcher he has participated in several national and 
European interdisciplinary research projects. His research focuses 
mainly on the challenges posed by new (digital) technologies to 
practices of law, especially in the fields of intellectual property 
rights, privacy and personal data protection. Further fields of his 
interest include: legal theory, law & technology, science & technology 
studies (STS) and interdisciplinarity.

Dariusz (Darek) Kloza, LLM is a researcher in privacy and personal data 
protection at the Research Group on Law, Science, Technology, and 
Society (LSTS) and the Institute for European Studies (IES), both at 
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) as well as at the Peace Research 
Institute Oslo (PRIO). His expertise concentrates on the governance and 
practice of impact assessments for emerging technologies. To that end, 
he has been involved in a number of EU co-funded research project, such 
as PIAF (A Privacy Impact Assessment Framework for data protection and 
privacy rights) and EPINET (Integrated Assessment of Societal Impacts of 
Emerging Science and Technology from within Epistemic Networks). He 
holds both an LLM in Law and Technology (2010) from the Tilburg 
Institute for Law, Technology, and Society (TILT) at Tilburg University 
(with distinction) and a master degree in law from the University of 
Bialystok (2008).

Best regards, Wolfgang Kastner
