Data Protection Day 2022

Friday 28 Jan 2022, 12:00 → 14:00 Europe/Zurich

(version française ci-dessous)

28 January is Data Protection Day, again!

After the success of the last year's event, four EIROforum organisations - CERN, EMBL, ESA and ESO - join to bring you a shared webinar on data protection.

Under the heading of “BIG personal DATA protection”, engaging speakers from EMBL and ESA will provide us interesting insights on the subject.

Big data includes big opportunities and big privacy concerns.
Three experts look at the topic from different perspectives

• The importance of Data Protection in the COVID-19 Research
• New technologies - 5G networks, localisation data - and respect for privacy of their users
• Strength through synergy: Integrated IT Security and Data Protection

Join them for a fascinating discovery.

Save the date:

• Friday, 28.01.2022, 12:00 – 14:00 h
• Online event (recordings will be available shortly after the event)
• Free participation.

Le 28 janvier est la journée de la protection des données, une fois de plus !

Après le succès de la dernière édition, nous sommes maintenant quatre organisations de l’EIROforum - CERN, EMBL, ESA et ESO - qui s’associent pour un événement commun sur la protection des données.

Placée sous le thème "BIG personal DATA protection", des intervenants de l'EMBL et de l'ESA nous donneront un aperçu intéressant du sujet.

Les big data offrent de grandes possibilités et suscitent de grandes inquiétudes quant au respect de la vie privée.
Trois experts abordent le sujet sous différents angles

• L'importance de la protection des données dans la recherche COVID-19
• Les nouvelles technologies - réseaux 5G, données de localisation - et le respect de la vie privée de leurs utilisateurs.
• La force par la synergie : sécurité informatique et protection des données intégrées

Rejoignez-les pour une découverte fascinante.

Réservez la date :

• Vendredi, 28.01.2022, 12:00 - 14:00 h
• Événement en ligne (les enregistrements seront disponibles peu après l'événement)
• Participation libre.

12:10 → 12:15 Introduction

12:15 → 12:45 New technologies - 5G networks, localisation data - and respect for privacy of their users

Project LOCUS: Localization and analytics on-demand embedded in the 5G ecosystem, for ubiquitous vertical applications.

Context-awareness is essential for many existing and emerging applications. Context information greatly relies on location information of people and things. The goal of LOCUS is to design and develop a location management infrastructure not only capable of improving localization accuracy and security, but also to extend it with analytics, and extract value out of it, meanwhile protecting the end users’ right to privacy. Localization, appropriate dedicated analytics, and their combined provision “as a service” will greatly increase the overall value of the 5G ecosystem and allow network operators to significantly expand their range of offered services, enabling comprehensive sets of user, location- and context-targeted applications. The intelligent integration of diverse technologies will open the way to many new applications, where devices, persons and things are detected, localized, and tracked with high accuracy, minimal implementation cost and privacy preservation (e.g., for crowd counting and flow monitoring). Accurate localization of terminals will also be exploited to improve network performance and to better manage and operate networks.
