Future of Privacy Forum opens nominations for 17th Annual Privacy Papers for Policymakers Awards

What happened

The Future of Privacy Forum (FPF) announced that submissions for the 17th Privacy Papers for Policymakers Award are open until October 16, 2026. The award seeks privacy, AI‑governance, and youth‑online research that emphasizes data protection and is relevant to policymakers worldwide. Winners will be featured in a digest and presented at a virtual event in 2027.

Why it matters for trust and compliance

• Its status is announced. It is not law yet. Track it, but do not treat it as an obligation.
• The call encourages privacy‑focused scholarship that can directly inform policy development.
