In the current global digitalization of all human activities and the main role in this transformation of research institutions in informatics and mathematics, ERCIM is establishing a Working Group on Digital Ethics. Its initial workshop will be held in conjunction with the ERCIM 2020 spring meetings. 

The 16th International Workshop on Security and Trust Management, co-located with ESORICS 2020, originally planned to be held in Guildford, UK on 17-18 September 2020 has been moved to an online format due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Arrangements for the virtual format are being made and will be announced on the workshop web page. This new format will not affect the proceedings, which will be published as Springer LNCS proceedings. STM (Security and Trust Management) is a Working Group of ERCIM. STM 2020 is the sixteenth workshop in this series and will be held in conjunction with the 25th European Symposium On Research in Computer Security (ESORICS 2020). The workshop seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all theoretical and practical aspects of security and trust in ICTs.
The deadline for paper submissions is 22 June.
