In November 2008, Peter Saraga
OBE FREng, the Academy’s Honorary International
Secretary, led a delegation to Tokyo to participate
in a symposium on ‘Privacy and Security in the
Information Society’ held jointly with the
Engineering Academy of Japan (EAJ) and hosted by the
British Embassy. The symposium provided an
opportunity to bring the Academy’s 2007 report,
Dilemmas of Privacy and Surveillance, to an
international audience, and to explore the
commonalities and differences in the British and
Japanese treatments of the subject. The UK speakers
were Prof Nigel Gilbert FREng, University of Surrey
and chair of the group that produced the Academy’s
Dilemmas report; Prof Andy Hopper CBE FREng FRS,
University of Cambridge; Prof Cliff Jones FREng,
University of Newcastle; Dr Martyn Thomas CBE FREng,
Martyn Thomas Associates Ltd; Dr Maire O’Neill,
Queen’s University Belfast and former Academy
Postdoctoral Research Fellow; and Dr Andrew Adams,
University of Reading and former holder of an
Academy Global Research Award. The Academy will be
hosting a return symposium in late 2009/early 2010.
