IRPC updates and opportunities

[Lee W McKnight]

Hi,



I wanted to 1st introduce to IRP-C friends Yusuf Abdul-Qadir, previously with ACLU-New York, and the UN, who will be in Ethiopia with myself and fellow Syracuse University colleagues Prof. Danielle Smith and doctoral student Jane Appiah-Okyere.



And, I wanted to make IRPCers aware of 3 sessions we (Syracuse University & Africa Open Data and Internet Research Foundation, led by Wisdom Donkor and Kwaku Antwi, also cc’d) have organized for IGF, under the Theme 'Connecting all Peoples and Safeguarding Human Rights.’ Timing works for folks to attend IRPC and these sessions too if of interest. And you should stop by our booth/we will stop by IRPC’s too : ).



See some of you in Addis Ababa, and more online.

Opportunities:

  *   The IRPC is co-organizing an in-person workshop, the Quantum Constitutionalism Workshop: Law and Governance for the Quantum Age, that will take place in Bremen, Germany on November 7-8, 2022. If you are in the area, please let the organizers know through the website<https://www.quantumconstitutionalism.org/>. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers from different disciplines (such as computer science, law, political science, etc.) to develop a research agenda focusing on the future rollout of quantum technologies such as quantum cryptography and the impact these might have on human rights. Outputs will be shared through this newsletter.
  *   The Center for AI and Digital Policy is accepting applications for AI Policy Clinic<https://www.caidp.org/global-academic-network/ai-policy-clinic/>’s Spring 2023 cohort. Interested candidates may fill out this form <https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/CAIDPSpring23>  by November 15, 2022.
  *   SMEX announced an inaugural Fellowship on Technology and Human Rights<https://smex.org/2023-smex-fellowship-on-technology-and-human-rights/>. Bilingual (Arabic/English) applicants from or with significant ties to the MENA region and interested in research and/or mobilisation on such topics as freedom of expression, digital surveillance, Internet shutdowns, business and human rights, climate change and technology and so forth are encouraged to apply by December 11, 2022. This part-time and paid fellowship is envisaged to begin in early 2023.
