We also focus on core concepts necessary in the organizational context including common privacy principles. In addition, we focus on the key drivers of digital privacy around the globe, namely seminal laws and regulations. Finally, we explore the ethical foundations of privacy and discuss the use of the ethical framework to help practitioners make sound decisions in complex situations.</p> <p>Access more learning resources at the <a href="https://digitalprivacy.ieee.org/">IEEE Digital Privacy</a> portal.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color: #ffffff;border:none;text-align:center"><a href="https://leosats.ieee.org/"><img decoding="async" data-src="https://cmte.ieee.org/futuredirections/wp-content/uploads/sites/44/2021/06/LEOSats_logo-300x200.png" alt="IEEE Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) Satellites and Systems" width="150" height="100" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" class="lazyload" style="--smush-placeholder-width: 150px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 150/100;" /></a></td> <td style="padding: 2%"> <p><strong>Panel: <a href="https://ieee.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/ieee/recording/18ced09898a9103aa95f9a94dbc9df3c/playback">Space Education Panel Discussion</a></strong><br /> During IEEE Education Week 2022, IEEE Low Earth Orbit Satellites and Systems hosted a virtual panel discussion consisting of five speakers that addressed the importance of space education for students in high school today.
