The European Data Forum (EDF) is one of the key European events for industry professionals, researchers, policy makers, and members of community initiatives to discuss the challenges and opportunities of data-driven innovation in Europe. The Forum will address all facets of data-driven innovation: infrastructure, tools, applications (including, new products and services reaching out to multilingual European audiences) as well as societal and economic impact.
This event is relevant for all stakeholders involved in the data value chain: listen with a carefully selected mix of presentations ranging from cutting-edge innovative industrial applications of Big Data technologies, to upcoming innovation breakthroughs. Be on top of on-going policy debates and get inspired by future-looking talks. Ideas exchanged at the European Data Forum have impact on the design of future research challenges and policy decisions both at the EU and Member State level. This will drive data-driven innovation further and strengthen the European data economy as well as enhancing its positioning worldwide.
The Brussels Privacy Hub is organising the 1st European Data Protection Law Summer School, an innovative course on privacyand personal data protection law at the heart of Europe. The programme will explore privacy legal and institutional challenges in the European Union, and provide participants with in-depth examination of the upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other EU data protection instruments – as well as global and, more specifically, transatlantic issues. With a clear multi-stakeholder dimension, it will introduce them to the multiple professional perspectives, human rights requirements and social aspects of EU-level privacy and data protection policy. The course, will promote networking and provide participants with the opportunity to engage with the principal EU data protection institutions and actors. Teaching staff will consist of leading academics in European data protection law, public and private legal practitioners and policy makers from European institutions such as the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS).
Goals: Participants in the European Data Protection Law Summer School will:
- acquire solid knowledge of the European data protection landscape, and in particular General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other key EU data protection legal instruments, covering key issues such as:
- extraterritorial scope of the law
- accountability,
- data protection and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs),
- the role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO),
- future challenges for Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) and the European data protection board;
- understand the legal challenges of privacy from a European perspective, with special focus on transatlantic discussions;
- gain first hand insights on the functioning of EU-level privacy and personal data protection law.
Attend this webinar to learn how accountability and compliance can be achieved through a structured approach to privacy management and learn how to use Nymity’s free GDPR Readiness Toolkit that will help you create a GDPR compliance roadmap.
The Free GDPR Readiness Toolkit that you will receive will include:
- Nymity GDPR Readiness Assessment Questions – A customizable MS Excel Spreadsheet that identifies the compliance obligations under the GDPR and provides two sets of questions to ensure privacy management is embedded throughout your organisation: one for the privacy office and one for the operational and business units.
- Nymity GDPR Accountability Annotations – An annotated document that identifies 39 Articles under the GDPR that require evidence to demonstrate compliance and maps them to specific privacy management activities (appropriate technical and organisational measures) that will help organisations know what is in place and what to plan to ensure ongoing compliance and accountability.
The Accountability principle runs through the core of the GDPR. Article 24 requires that organisations implement ‘appropriate technical and organisational measures’ to be able to ‘demonstrate’ their compliance with the Regulation. Nymity’s research has identified 39 Articles (out of the 99 Articles in the GDPR) that need evidence to demonstrate compliance and has mapped these Articles to the Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework™.
Knowledge Transfers:
- Understand how a structured approach to privacy management can help your organisation achieve accountability and compliance under the GDPR
- Understand how to use the Nymity GDPR Privacy Management Accountability Annotations resource to identify 54 privacy management activities (out of the 139 in the Nymity Privacy Management Accountability Framework™) that will help your organisation address ongoing compliance under the GDPR and generate the documentation that can be used as evidence

A smart city is a city that is water resilient and attractive and makes responsible use of its resources. Appropriate water management not only preserves and improves the environment, it also increases social welfare and the well-being of citizens. A smart, integrated set of technologies, solutions and systems can enable continous monitoring, diagnosis and prioritization as well as facilitate maintenance and the management of issues. Data can help optimize all aspects of water production, distribution and treatment allowing cities to reach those objectives. The session will address pain points many cities experience today and point to possible solutions.

Internet connectivity has empowered communities of people in unprecedented ways, enabling them to interact across physical borders while gaining access to new technologies like 3D printing, biohacking, and artificial intelligence. Highly skilled communities of security researchers, tinkerers, hobbyists, and innovators advance science and engineering faster than governments and companies can catch up. However, hacktivists and terrorist groups can employ these very same skills and tools to conduct disruptive cyber attacks. Can the overwhelming number of good actors in these online communities of interest be creatively mobilized to combat nefarious activities in their midst? Must we trade innovation for national security, or can they reinforce each other? What happens when you drop military counterproliferation operators into the hacker spaces of Silicon Valley?
A reception will follow the event.

Friday lunchtime lectures are for everyone and are free to attend. You bring your lunch, we provide tea and coffee, an interesting talk, and enough time to get back to your desk.
The failure of anonymisation has led to a narrative in the debate over privacy and open data that sometimes pits these two values against each other, as though privacy and openness are inherently in conflict. In this talk, Woodrow Hartzog will argue that in order to reconcile this perceived tension, we must better define the notions of both ‘open data’ and ‘privacy in datasets’ in our law and policy to accommodate reasonable risk management techniques.
About the speaker
Woodrow Hartzog is an Associate Professor at the Cumberland School of Law at Samford University and an Affiliate Scholar at the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School. His research on privacy, media and robotics has been published in numerous law reviews and peer-reviewed publications such as the Columbia Law Review, California Law Review and Michigan Law Review, as well as popular publications such as the Guardian, Wired, The Atlantic, CNN and BBC. His book, Privacy’s Blueprint: The Battle to Control the Design of New Technologies, is under contract with Harvard University Press.
The workshop seeks to bring together experts and practitioners from academia, industry and government to discuss challenging open research issues, case studies, and legal and policy challenges related to inference and privacy.
Infer 2016 will be held on Monday, July 18, 2016, in Darmstadt, Germany. It will be co-located with PETS 2016, WiSec 2016, IFIPTM 2016 as well as with a number of security-related workshops all being part of Darmstadt’s Security and Privacy Week 2016.
Infer 2016 will take place at the Kongresszentrum Darmstadtium, in Room 3.02 | Hassium.
As wireless and mobile networking becomes ubiquitous, security and privacy become increasingly critical. The focus of the ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (ACM WiSec) is on the security and privacy aspects of wireless communications, mobile networks, and their applications. In addition to the traditional ACM WiSec topics of physical, link, and network layer security, we also welcome papers focusing on the security and privacy of mobile software platforms and the increasingly diverse range of mobile or wireless applications. The conference welcomes both theoretical as well as systems contributions.
Keynote – The Ultimate Frontier for Privacy and Security: Medicine
Jean-Pierre Hubaux, EPFL
Personalized medicine brings the promise of better diagnoses, better treatments, a higher quality of life and increased longevity. To achieve these noble goals, it exploits a number of revolutionary technologies, including genome sequencing and DNA editing, as well as wearable devices and implantable or even edible biosensors. In parallel, the popularity of “quantified self” gadgets shows the willingness of citizens to be more proactive with respect to their own health. Yet, this evolution opens the door to all kinds of abuses, notably in terms of discrimination, blackmailing, stalking, and subversion of devices.
After giving a general description of this situation, in this talk we will expound on some of the main concerns, including the temptation to permanently and remotely monitor the physical (and metabolic) activity of individuals. We will describe the potential and the limitations of techniques such as cryptography (including secure multi-party computation), trusted hardware and differential privacy. We will also discuss the notion of consent in the face of the intrinsic correlations of human data. We will argue in favor of a more systematic, principled and cross-disciplinary research effort in this field and will discuss the motives of the various stakeholders.
The annual Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium (PETS) brings together privacy experts from around the world to discuss recent advances and new perspectives on research in privacy technologies. PETS addresses the design and realization of privacy services for the Internet and other digital systems and communication networks.
This year, the symposium will be held during Security & Privacy Week SPW 2016, which offers five days of various exciting events, covering many timely topics surrounding the field of security & privacy.
