Pre-eventCPDP

This wiki page serves to collect information on the organisation of the pre-event for the CPDP conference. (http://www.cpdpconferences.org/)

Aim of the event

Broad aims were discussed at FNF in 2013 here Planning

Since then we have been invited to a pre-CPDP event organised by the CPDP Programme Cttee at the Microsoft office on Tuesday, 21st Jan. The aim of this event is apparently, if not explicitly, how to better integrate the views of civil society in coming years into the CPDP conference, which has traditionally been more academic in focus. RSVP is required, as space is limited. To register for this event, please contact Imge Ozcan: <enkode>Imge.Ozcan@vub.ac.be</enkode>
