POSEIDON organised the 1st International Workshop on Privacy, Data Protection and Digital Identity, that took place in Coimbra, Portugal, on July 11th, 2019, with roughly 60 registered participants.
The workshop program was quite intense and counted with presentations from five H2020 projects.
Dr Luis Miguel Campos has presented the DEFeND project – Data Governance Framework for Supporting GDPR (https://www.defendproject.eu), funded by the Horizon2020 Programme to a very participative audience, among which were found, Dr Nikolaos Panagiotarakis (from the EC Research Executive Agency) which provided a very informative presentation on the topic “H2020 cyber-security relevant calls in 2020”, and the Project coordinators of the EU-funded projects: POSEIDON / ATENA / PAPAYA / ATMOSPHERE.
In his talk, Dr Luis Miguel Campos, presented the main challenges faced by organizations, brought by the arrival of GDPR, and how DEFeND contributes to addressing them. In addition Dr Luis Campos discussed the current status of the project, and the roadmap of future activities. The DEFeND project will deliver a unique organizational data privacy governance platform to empower organisations in multiple sectors, to assess and comply to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), by improving existing software tools (ex: consent management, privacy impact analysis, and data breach management ) and developing new ‘integration software’, driven by market needs.
GDPR entered into force in all Member States of the European Union, in May 2018, enhancing user data protection. GDPR brings significant changes, with many clear advantages for the data subjects, but it also comes with many challenges. Organizations need to make wide range and complex changes to their personal data processing activities, in order to become GDPR compliant, while on the other hand, Citizens, as data subjects, are empowered with new rights, which however they need to become aware of, and fully understand how they can effectively regaining control of their data (discover who has their data, why they have it, where it’s stored and who is accessing it).
The workshop closed with a panel on Privacy, Data Protection and Digital Identity, during which the panelists expressed their views on several topics raised by the attendees.
