"Data is the lifeblood of decision-making and the raw material for accountability” (United Nations) and its potential in this sense should be taken advantage of in order to provide benefits for all of society. ECPC Director Cosimo Monda is “particularly proud that our Centre is actively contributing with this groundbreaking research project in order to improve our data-driven economy and society”.
Our Research Project is effectively furthering sustainable data processing activities for the future digital society and economy because more than ever, in the midst of a global health pandemic and economic turndown, the time to make a positive difference is now!
[1] The DPCSR project of the European Centre on Privacy and Cybersecurity (ECPC) at Maastricht University is a two-year multi-stakeholder research project that commenced in January 2020 and involves both Data Protection and Business Stakeholders. During the first year of the project the researchers have concretized three rules for each of the Five Principles of Sustainable Data Protection previously identified by Dr. Paolo Balboni and explored during his inaugural lecture. The second year of the project will consist of expanding to five rules per principle, for a total of 25 rules, which will form the basis of the UM DPCSR Framework. The research project is being developed according to the highest academic and ethical standards in full independence. It is intended to benefit of the rights and freedoms of individuals by way of the establishment of data protection practices that are socially responsible and feasible, and which shall be agreed upon and adhered to by the Stakeholders.
