PET-CON brings together students (B.Sc., M.Sc., PhD), junior researchers, privacy activists, and other interested people to discuss work in progress. PET-CON is organized by the PET special interest group of the German Computer Science Society (GI). Previous PET-CONs took place at University of Bamberg, TU Berlin, University of Hamburg, University of Regensburg, TU Dresden, TU Darmstadt, RWTH Aachen, Goethe University Frankfurt, and University of Göttingen. PET-CON is an informal gathering that welcomes various forms of contributions. The main workshop features short contributed talks (10-15 minutes) followed by extensive feedback and discussions (up to 45 minutes). For instance, students can present planned, ongoing, and recently finished theses and projects to receive feedback. We also accept presentations of papers that have already been published elsewhere. Alternatively, you can also attend the convention without giving a talk at all and simply participate in the discussions. # TOPICS OF INTEREST # - Privacy Enhancing Technologies - Privacy Engineering - Inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives to privacy (e.g., techno-legal, techno-economic, ...)
