On June 19, 2023 Christos Kalloniatis from the University of Piraeus presented the RE-SAMPLE project and the privacy challenges at the EU-funded projects roundtable on "Privacy and technological scenarios on reuse of health data".
Two partners of the EU Project “DataTools4Heart” (a project funded under the health cluster of the Horizon Europe, the EU’s framework programme for research & innovation) have organised an online meeting on “Privacy & tech scenarios on reuse of health data: EU projects' roundtable”. The aim of the event was to open a discussion, together with many other EU-funded projects, on technical and legal solutions which may enable, foster or facilitate the reuse of personal data for research purposes, also in view of the upcoming Artificial Intelligence Act, Data Act and European Health Data Space.
Thus, in this meeting, participants had the opportunity to share recommendations and thoughts on how the European Union can become a global leader in medical research and data-driven knowledge discovery thanks to a safe and ethical reuse of personal and health data.
Prof. Christos Kalloniatis, a member of RE-SAMPLE from University of Piraeus, acting also as the Data Protection Officer of the project, has participated as speaker in the online meeting delivering a speech on the privacy challenges encountered in RE-SAMPLE. He presented the objectives and goals of the project in terms of security and privacy; the GDPR compliance issues and how they were overcome in RE-SAMPLE; and furthermore discussed the strategy for Open Data Usage. The latter topic stirred great interest among the participants whose questions provoked a stimulating discussion at the end of the meeting.
