With the EC insisting on the importance of multiplying impact across several projects funded under the same call, clustering in Horizon Europe becomes a critical activity. The present article outlines the importance of clustering in Horizon Europe and describes potential clustering activities Privanova implements in projects where we take part.

When project outcomes are transformed into concrete benefits for society, they maximise the scientific, social, economic, technological and policy value of the project and, in turn, further contribute to making Europe a global reference in Research and Innovation. To achieve this transformation, Privanova’s dissemination activities rely on the successful planning and careful delivery to relevant stakeholders.

Privanova publishes an eBook referencing all the relevant legal documents on which the Ethics Appraisal Process relies.

Privanova leads Ethics Advisory Boards in EU-funded projects where we take part. This article outlines functions and role of an EAB.

The Horizon Europe introduced several important changes concerning the way the Ethics Appraisal Process is organised for EU-funded research projects. Beyond ensuring ongoing ethics compliance, these changes reflect both the evolution in terms of procedures as well as a reflection of the technological developments the European Commission consider the most important.

Privanova takes part in the DigiCare4You project KickOff meeting which marks the official start of this interdisciplinary, EU-funded research project. Within the project, Privanova leads the Work Package 3 – dedicated to ensuring legal and ethics compliance for the whole duration of the project.

Privanova takes part in the EU-funded, interdisciplinary, international project addressing the issue of illicit financial flows. The TRACE officially started on July 9th 2021. Supported by a significant number of LEAs, it will run for 3 years with almost 7 million EUR in funding.

Artificial Intelligence is the aim or the enabler in many EU-funded projects. The interplay between Artificial Intelligence and Ethics is addressed on different levels within the EU – from policy, over legal and regulatory to research and development.

Privanova takes part in AI4HealthSec: a multi-disciplinary project funded by the EU. The project provides a dynamic and self-organized solution based on artificial swarm intelligence for privacy threats in healthcare ICT infrastructures.

On March 31st, Privanova successfully organised the first interactive CYRENE Expert Workshop together with the project coordinator, our consortium partners and representatives of the external advisory boards.

MARVEL Kick-off Meeting was held virtually on 18-19 January 2021. 50 participants from 17 organisations and the Project Officer attend the event.

Privanova supports the Living-in.EU initiative for digital transformation in European cities. Our involvement benefits all EU-funded projects we take part including MARVEL, IoT-NGIN and CYRENE.

In line with the flagship initiative Digital Agenda for Europe, the IoT-NGIN Project Consortium was built to address the EU Programme on INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP – Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies – Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

The CYRENE project addressing the resilience and cybersecurity of global supply chains officially started on October 15th with the participation of Privanova and another 13 other international partners. The CYRENE project lays the foundation for the implementation of the EU cybersecurity Certification Framework which, in turn, is based on the EU Cybersecurity Act.

We discuss Artificial Intelligence, its importance and potential ethical impacts across several H2020 projects on which we collaborate with Julia Pshenichnaya – Cognitive Process Automation Practice lead, IBM France.

The most common outcome of the H2020 Proposal Ethics Screening is the Conditional clearance – the clearance is subject to conditions that must be included as ‘ethics requirements’. This white paper presents all of the potential ethics requirements your proposal might receive following the Ethics Screening.

The project was formally launched at a virtual kick-off meeting on 6-7 May 2020, which was attended by more than 30 representatives from partner organisations, including law enforcement agencies (LEAs), research centres, universities, industry and civil society from across Europe as well as a representative from the European Commission.

In reply to EGBA’s invitation, our experts drafted an Opinion on the draft Code of Conduct and provided it to EGBA. Particular attention was given to the issues related to privacy, data protection, direct marketing and privacy of vulnerable groups including minors.

Performing a Privacy Impact Assessment on an innovative ICT project is an essential part of a wider, proactive, risk-based approach to privacy and data protection. In this white paper, our experts share their ideas and best practices on how to perform a PIA on a real-life EU-funded project.
