The Council of Europe has chosen 28 January as European Privacy and Data Protection Day. This day celebrates privacy and the autonomy of the individual – and gives us the opportunity to engage as citizens in timely debates of today's societies and to reflect on the issue of data protection and privacy. The day is aimed at giving European citizens the chance to understand what their rights are in respect of the collection and processing of their personal data; and also to increase awareness of the risks associated with the illegal mishandling and unfair processing of their personal data.
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
ICT covers scientific and technical research in all areas of information and communication science and technologies.
The ICT research area is best summarised as treating the processing, transmission, storage, retrieval, management, usage, and exchange of information and knowledge, with emphasis on fundamental aspects and pre-competitive technology development.
New ideas and initiatives are welcome as well those with high interdisciplinary elements and close links and overlaps with other domains.
