The health crisis due to COVID-19 is shaping a new reality in which the exchange and access to health data in a secure way will be more and more necessary. In this complex challenge converge both the respect for the individual rights as well as the interests of the patients and the need to promote the research in pursuit of the public interest. To face this challenge, we can find different approaches across Europe. In this webinar, we will present the experiences of three EU-funded projects (BigMedilytics, BodyPass, and DeepHealth), besides an overview of the legal framework and recommendations to enforce both national regulations and GDPR by an expert in data privacy and security.

The new data-driven industrial revolution highlights the need for big data technologies to unlock the potential in various application domains. The insurance and finance services industry is rapidly transformed by data-intensive operations and applications. FinTech and InsuranceTech combine very large datasets from legacy banking systems with other data sources such as financial markets data, regulatory datasets, real-time retail transactions, and more, improving financial services and activities for customers.

This session aims to analyze in-depth the challenges, limitations and longer-term perspectives of these pilots as well as other existing relevant ongoing projects and activities in other programmes. Based on this analysis, the aim is to outline future research and innovation needs in terms of convergence and alignment of the basic technologies and their utilization in industry and especially SMEs. Outcomes of this workshop will be relevant for the future research and innovation activities in both the EuroHPC JU, and the AI, Data, and Robotics Partnership, and are meant to support alignment in between both partnerships.

The VODAN Implementation Network is one of the joint activities carried out by CODATA, RDA, WDS, and GO FAIR. The purpose of the Implementation Network is to make the SARS CoV-2 virus data FAIR, meaning that they are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and thus Reusable by both humans and machines, during this epidemic of COVID-19. BDVA organizes, with the support of GO FAiR, CODATA, and the Philips Foundation, a webinar on April 29th at 14h CEST to raise more awareness about this initiative. Read more about VODAN.

How can BDV Data Science Badges help in the selection of job candidates? Would your university like to issue badges that recognize data science skills?
This webinar will explain the initiative being led by the BDVe project in collaboration with the BDVA Skills Task Force to recognize data science skills acquired through formal education. The main goal of this work is to address the needs of the different stakeholders in the data science ecosystem: university students, academia, and industry. This initiative is based on the use of Open Badges which are issued by universities to students that have demonstrated that they have gained data science skills that were identified as being relevant to industrial needs.

What approaches are being taken to tackle the policy challenges within the big data landscape, and how are these solutions coping in reality? This webinar will address these issues through the perspective of two projects: e-SIDES and SMOOTH.
Daniel Bachlechner, of e-SIDES, will discuss the organizational and technical challenges that privacy-preserving big data technologies present, and how an increased level of dialogue between stakeholders can pave the way for appropriate and fair solutions. Rosa M. Araujo Rivero will delve into the main challenges experienced by SMEs and startups in dealing with GDPR compliance. Rosa’s work with the SMOOTH project will demonstrate how the proposed solutions are experienced in practice.

The main goal of the DataBio project is to show the benefits of Big Data technologies in the raw material production from agriculture, forestry and fishery/aquaculture for the bio-economy industry to produce food, energy and bio-materials responsibly and sustainably. DataBio proposes to deploy a state of the art, big data platform on top of the existing partners’ infrastructure and solutions – the Big DATABIO Platform. Achieved impacts are measured against anticipations. In this webinar, we present the impact of the DataBio project and of its big data platform after three years of implementation, and we illustrate some of the novel breakthroughs on practical cases of artificial intelligence applications that are meaningfully boosting crop monitoring businesses with a global potential.

Worried about data privacy in big data? Don’t be! In this webinar we are going to present the approach of the SPECIAL project to address the contradiction between Big Data innovation and privacy-aware data protection. We will present the SPECIAL platform that allows:
– The acquisition of user consent and associated data and metadata.
– Catering for privacy-aware, secure workflows.
– Support for privacy preserving innovation in Big Data environments.
– Viz via a dashboard to make privacy in Big Data comprehensible and manageable for data subjects, controllers and processors.

Worried about the learning curve to introduce Deep Learning in your organization? Don’t be. The DEEP-HybridDataCloud project offers a framework for all users, including non-experts, enabling the transparent training, sharing and serving of Deep Learning models both locally or on hybrid cloud system. In this webinar we will be showing a set of use cases, from different research areas, integrated within the DEEP infrastructure.
The DEEP solution is based on Docker containers packaging already all the tools needed to deploy and run the Deep Learning models in the most transparent way. No need to worry about compatibility problems. Everything has already been tested and encapsulated so that the user has a fully working model in just a few minutes. To make things even easier, we have developed an API allowing the user to interact with the model directly from the web browser.

You have probably heard about the Big Data Value PPP and the Big Data Value Association, but, are you sure you know what is behind them? Do you know which are the priorities and objectives of the European strategy on Big Data Research and Innovation and the way European payers’ money is being invested? What is a data platform, data sharing initiatives, or data market size? And a data space? Is Europe lagging behind the US and China as we are usually told? And looking at the future. Which steps are being taken to define a data-driven Artificial Intelligence? Too many questions that start with a single answer: your attendance to this webinar.
