8-9 March 2023 Masters of Digital 2023. Brussels/online
As our continent continues to grapple with the aftershocks of the COVID pandemic, Russia’s war in Ukraine has put even more strain on the world economy and European unity. Meanwhile, the searing heat of summer 2022 has shown us the consequences of inaction on the climate. Digital technologies can play a central role in tackling these many interlinked crises. The next two years leading up to the European elections in 2024 will be a critical time to make Europe’s economy more innovative while harnessing digital’s potential to drive down emissions. It is also crucial to leverage the power of technology in bolstering our digital resilience against hybrid threats, together with likeminded partners. The time to act is now.

1-2 June 2023 Annual Privacy Forum 2023. Lyon, France
The value of personal data in the online world has significantly increased over the last years as electronic products, services and processes have permeated every fold of everyday life. Limitations in the transparency, the functionality and interconnectivity of online and communication services increases the risk of having personal data processed out of control of any accountable person or organization or simply becoming exposed to all sorts of privacy threats.
The EU legal framework on personal data protection is key in an effort to better control the processing of personal data while ensuring an adequate level of protection. Even the best legislative efforts cannot keep up to speed with the pace of innovative technology and business models that challenge the way personal data is processed and privacy is protected across the EU and beyond; therefore, examining what is at stake and where threats thereto originate from becomes of paramount importance.
Against this background, ENISA, DG Connect and INRIA are organizing the Annual Privacy Forum (APF) 2023 in Lyon, France.
