COURSE DESCRIPTION
This unique course has been designed to address the needs of organisations and people involved in international collaborative EU funded projects. Is a course very targeted to the new regulations around the GDPR and it is imperative for the compliance of any Horizon 2020 project.
The course will help you understand all essential aspects of GDPR. Despite it being a new data protection framework, it has its foundation on existing legislation and has a wide ranging impact which will require significant adjustments in various aspects of organizations operations.
The course will equip participants with all the necessary knowledge, skills and reference sources to help them understand, tailor and effectively use the new legal framework to their organization, ensuring their effective cooperation and communication with other project participants.
During this two-day training, the participants will be informed about the main principles of data protection by design and by default creating incentives for innovative solutions to address data protection issues from the start. Following this, they will have the opportunity to cover the main action items required for their organization to become compliant. This will include discussions and surveys related to their needs and current status. With the help of workshops and exercises, at the end of the course, participants will be in a position to start implementing some of the GDPR processes which are required to be compliant. After the training, participants will be in a position to understand, translate and be able to prepare or guide most (or all?) of the required framework requirements.
Strictly limited seats per course ensure a much more focused learning experience and a customised programme.

WHY THIS COURSE
On 25 May, a new single set of data protection rules will enter into effect across the EU. The new framework will bring significant benefits to individuals, companies, public administrations and other organisations alike. It is also an opportunity for the EU to become a global leader in personal data protection. But the reform can only succeed if all those involved embrace their obligations and their rights. After four years of preparation and debate the GDPR was finally approved by the EU Parliament on 14 April 2016. The new Regulation will strengthen the protection of the individual’s right to personal data protection, reflecting the nature of data protection as a fundamental right for the European Union.
The scope of the GDPR is very broad. The GDPR will affect (1) all organizations established in the EU, and (2) all organizations involved in processing personal data of EU citizens. The latter is the GDPR’s introduction of the principle of “extraterritoriality”; meaning, the GDPR will apply to any organization processing personal data of EU citizens—regardless of where it is established, and regardless of where its processing activities take place. This means the GDPR could apply to any organization anywhere in the world, and all organizations should perform an analysis to determine whether or not they are processing the personal data of EU citizens. The GDPR also applies across all industries and sectors.
The Commission has also issued a call for proposals specifically aimed at data protection authorities. It will have a total budget of up to EUR 2 million and will support them in reaching out to stakeholders. The objective is to provide 80 % co-financing to measures taken by data protection authorities in 2018-2019 to raise awareness among businesses, in particular SMEs, and reply to their queries. This funding can also be used to raise awareness among the general public. After 25 May 2018, the Commission will closely monitor the application of the new rules and will stand ready to take action should any significant problems arise. One year after the Regulation enters into application (2019) the Commission will organise an event to take stock of different stakeholders’ experiences of implementing the Regulation. This will also feed into the report the Commission is required to produce by May 2020 on the evaluation and review of the Regulation. This report will focus in particular on international transfers and the provisions on cooperation and consistency which pertain to the work of data protection authorities.
