Forum Beyond Compliance 2024: Research Ethics in the Digital Age

Budapest, 14-15 October 2024

Submission deadline: 10 June 2024.
Notification of acceptance: July 10th, 2024.
Accepted contributions should be presented on-site.

For the third edition of the Forum, co-organized by ERCIM, SZTAKI, and the CCNE-numérique, the program will consist of invited presentations, invited contributions to round tables, a tutorial session, and selected contributions based on the answers to this call. The program will be structured into six topical sessions focusing on ethical issues in digital research about Cultural Influences, Democracy, Regulation Making, Cooperative Agents, Digital Health, and Emerging Topics; and two sessions for a Tutorial and Selected Contributions. We invite the community to propose contributions in the form of short presentations. These can include case study reports, novel developments from research projects, policy recommendations, or proposals and hypotheses put forward for discussion.

Proposals are solicited as extended abstracts not exceeding two pages, in English, written using the Helvetica Neue 11pt font. These will undergo a lightweight review process by the workshop organizing committee, being evaluated for topical fit, and - depending on the type of submission - novelty of contribution, or perspective offered, or potential impact of contribution, or controversiality and potential for discussion. The selected contributions, possibly extended from the selected abstracts, will be published on the forum's web page.

Submissions should be made by emailing the extended abstract to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
