Following the format of PLSC in the United States, PLSC Europe is a conference for stimulating work in progress. Discussants, rather than authors, kick off and lead a conversation on a paper. There are no panels or presentations by the authors. Attendees read papers in advance and offer constructive feedback as full participants in the workshop. Having your paper accepted is not a requirement for attending and contributing to the conference, and indeed many attendees do not present a paper.

Our goal is to improve and provide support for in-progress scholarship on a wide variety of issues and topics that touch upon privacy in its broadest interpretation. As such, we very much welcome submissions from different (sub)disciplines, taking alternative angles to privacy and data governance more broadly.
Practicalities
The conference will take place at Leiden Law School on 23rd October (12:30 – 18:30) and 24th October 2025 (9:30 – 17:00). The full schedule will be released in September.
The confirmation of the conference and of its logistics will follow in further communication.
