The overall objective of PATS is to invent a concept of security branding to increase opportunities for voluntary adoption of privacy standards among security organisations. On the one hand, the project will study the degree of privacy awareness across various sectors, firms and across international government agencies that promote or use security technologies.
PATS is co-ordinated by the Technical University Berlin (Germany). Partners at the project are:
- Finland Futures Research Centre,
- University of Tel Aviv, Interdisciplinary Center for Technology Analysis and Forecasting, ICTAF (Israel),
- Oxford University, Said Business School, The James Martin Institute for Science and Civilication (UK),
- Foundation for European Scientific Cooperation (Poland) and
- Arizona State University, School of Justice & Social Inquiry (USA).
The project is funded by the European Uniond during 2009-2010. The FFRC researchers in the project are Jari Kaivo-oja and Rauno Kuusisto. Mr. Jari Koskinen from the CID research group is also involved in the project, providing the expertise on brand research.
