Privacy, Data Protection, and Standards: Engineering European Values

EDU4Standards 2nd webinar of thematic modulesoffers an accessible introduction to the landscape of standards in privacy and data protection for undergraduate and graduate students from different backgrounds. The session also connects legal ideas to technical realities. What does the GDPR have to do with database design, software architecture, or cloud deployment models? How can broad legal principles be translated into concrete technical properties? To answer these questions, the talk will present how existing privacy standards support the design, development, and assessment of software systems. Finally, it looks ahead to generative AI, where privacy standardisation is becoming an especially active and challenging field. In a world where values must be engineered as well as defended, standards are part of the bridge. This 2nd webinar was hosted by Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (UPM) with the support of Trust- IT Services.
