Cybersecurity and Public Institutions Risks and opportunities of IT-legal regulation of a transversal phenomenon: Call for papers

The Università del Piemonte Orientale presents their conference on Cybersecurity and Public Institutions Risks and opportunities of IT-legal regulation of a transversal phenomenon. The Conference intends to welcome contributions to analyse – from a legal, philosophical, managerial, organizational and IT perspectives – the topic of cybersecurity in the context of Public Institutions and Public Administrations. The topic is of very current interest and has significant implications for the health of democracy and the economic-social system. It has recently proven to be strategic in highly disturbed geo-political contexts. The discussion among international and national scholars will allow us to identify critical issues, opportunities and short- and long-term prospects of public cybersecurity.

The conference will be sponsored by ItaIS (Italian Chapter of AIS – Association for Information Systems – www.itais.org). It will be structured in sessions during which papers presented by well-known scholars will interleave with contributions by young scholars. Contributions from young scholars will be selected following a call for papers.

The contributions of the speakers will be included in a collective volume, edited by the Scientific Committee, and published by the Giappichelli publishing house. Deadline for sending the final text for publication: June 30, 2024.

The call for papers is aimed at welcoming contributions from young scholars (i.e, doctoral students, post-docs, research fellows) interested in presenting their contribution on the legal, philosophical, managerial, organizational and IT aspects, relevant to the themes of the conference.
