Privacy International
Privacy International (PI) is a human rights group formed in 1990 as a watchdog on surveillance and privacy invasions by governments and corporations. PI is based in London, England, and has an office in Washington, D.C.
In 1990, in response to a growing number of privacy threats, more than a hundred leading privacy experts and Human Rights organizations from forty countries linked arms to form a world organization for the protection of privacy. Members of the new body, including computer professionals, academics, lawyers, journalists, jurists and human rights activists, had a common interest in promoting an international understanding of the importance of privacy and data protection. Meetings of the group, which took the name Privacy International, were held throughout that year in North America, Europe, Asia and the South Pacific, and members agreed to work toward the establishment of effective privacy protection throughout the world.
The formation of Privacy International is the first successful attempt to establish a structured world focus on this crucial area of human rights.

University of Murcia
Since the first European universities came into existence in medieval times, students and lecturers have moved freely from one to another. Today, with the huge advances in communications, this is, if possible, even more true.
Following the declarations of La Sorbonne and Bologna, the universities of Europe have set out on their irrevocable journey towards a common higher education area that will end with the arrival of the Europe of knowledge.
The University of Murcia has played an active role in this process from the very outset. The University has openly welcomed members from other university communities who have wanted to share a part of their academic or scientific training with us. Ours is, and always has been, a philosophy based on welcome and friendliness, and one in which exclusion has no place.

The Consumer Council of Norway
The Consumer Council of Norway is an independent, government-funded interest organization, working to strengthen the interests of the consumer by exercising consistent and result-oriented consumer power. The Council has designated the digital market as one of its top priorities for the coming years.
The Consumer Council’s digital charter consists of eight mandatory consumer rights for digital products and services legally available to consumers, and is the foundation of the Consumer Council's work on digital services:
1. Make a backup copy
2. Watch and listen to content when you want to
3. Move content between players
4. Convert content to an appropriate format
5. Adapt equipment
6. Use digital content without being monitored
7. Make use of public and private services
8. Make use the technology necessary to exercise your digital rights
During the last years the Consumer Council has been working internationally, among other things, for the removal of DRM in iTunes and on ensuring network neutrality.
In June 2010 The Consumer Council filed a complaint on Facebook and games-developer Zynga for breaches of the Data Protection Act. The complaint focuses on the lack of basic rights relating to ownership of personal information when joining the online community.
The Consumer Council will also in near future file a complaint against Sony and PlayStation3 for violating the Norwegian Marketing Control Act by claiming a universal right to change or remove functionality from the gaming console.
Cleaning up the digital rights chaos
The Sony/PlayStation3 complaint soon to come…
We give consumers the power and possibilities to make good choices.

TNO
ICT, media and space technology are essential to our society. A new information infrastructure is emerging whereby citizens, industry and government will communicate with each other in new ways and will fully employ open data. The impact of this on many societal and economic processes will be considerable, though as yet unknown.
TNO will investigate and stimulate the introduction of new applications of media, supporting government and industry in identifying and applying new communication possibilities. The main challenge is to enable the information society to develop in such a way that it is not only sustainable but can also boost productivity as well as solve a number of social problems without any loss of confidence in ICT.
Our society is information-driven and network-based. The average person’s details are in hundreds of linked databases that are accessed remotely. Personalised services and social networks create new possibilities but are increasingly exposing our private lives. Trust is an important element in the further development of online markets and networks. It is important to know who we are doing business with online, but also to know how our personal information is used. TNO contributes to trust in the digital society with a focus on managing privacy and e-Identity.
The Dutch Police / Cybercrime Programme
The Netherlands is a parliamentary democracy with many representatives, participation models, and organs of the state. The police service is an implementing body, with a monopoly on the use of force. But like other organs of the state, it has to operate within the law.
The Dutch police service is divided into regional forces and the National Police Services Agency (KLPD), which has various specialist and support departments. A regional police force is responsible for policing within a given territory known as a ‘police region’. Every regional force is led by a Chief of Police.
The role of the police is changing as a result of changes in society as a whole. National borders are losing their significance. Globalisation and the internet have increased the mobility of people, goods, money, and information.
The Cybercrime Programme (known as ‘PAC’ from the original Dutch Programma Aanpak Cybercrime) is a focus programme organised by the Council of Chiefs of Police.
Addressing cybercrime suggests that PAC is primarily focussed on crime, but fighting crime is more than just detection. It is also about intake, enforcement, emergency assistance and support. The police need to learn the best way to handle the impact of digitalisation in all these areas.
Given the impact of and opportunities offered by digitalisation, PAC’s objective is to ensure that the police are:
• Aware of impact and opportunities (fighting cybercrime is part of everyday police work);
• Reliable in the eyes of the public (the public can call in the police and will not be disappointed);
• Successful (cybercrime is addressed successfully and visibly handled
• Connected (to public and private organisations and agencies that also deal with cybercrime – forming an effective network together with these bodies).
PAC focuses on innovation: thinking and acting ‘out-of-the-box’. In other words, rather than ‘more of the same’, we want new and different. PAC is a development programme aimed at modernising police work through incentives, experiments, learning and teaching.

Corvinus University of Budapest
As one of the leading universities in Hungary, the history of CUB stretches back to the 1850’s. The foundation of CUB was based on three predecessor institutions working in different disciplines. The modern-day Corvinus University of Budapest was established with the merger of the Budapest University of Economic Sciences (BUES), which was known as Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences from 1953 to 1991, with the College of Public Administration in 2000 and with three faculties of Szent István University (Faculty of Food Science, Faculty of Horticultural Science and Faculty of Landscape Architecture) in 2003. The university then collectively accepted the new name ‘Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB)’ in 2004 reflecting an institution that brings together several disciplines ranging from social sciences to natural sciences and providing a very unique offer on its educational palette.
The CUB offers 22 undergraduate programmes, 25 graduate programmes, 4 joint programmes with partners within the EU and 8 accredited doctoral schools with 5 in social sciences, 1 in information technology.
CUB has a leading position in Hungary in some disciplines such as business administration and social science. According to the Financial Times ranking list of the best 35 business administration schools in Europe, the Faculty of Business Administration occupied 25th place in the 2006 ranking. Also, CUB is one of the total 17 schools participating in the CEMS (the elite group of the community of European Management Schools) programme since 1996 and accepted to the PIM (Programme in International Management).
