Institute for Privacy Law, Data Protection and Technology liaises with the SIENNA EU program

The Institute for Privacy Law, Data Protection and Technology has formed a liaison to the SIENNA EU program. 

SIENNA stands for ‘Stakeholder informed ethics for new technologies with high socio-economic and human rights impact). SIENNA develops ethical frameworks, recommendations for better regulation and operational tools for the ethical management of human genomics, human enhancement and AI & robotics. 

The liaison officer for the Institute for Privacy Law, Data Protection and Technology from SIENNA is Maria Bottis, Ionian University, who is also a member of the Institute’s Scientific Council and collaborates in relation to SIENNA with the President of the Institute, Professor Lilian Mitrou. 

The SIENNA project has received funding under the European Union’s H2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 741716. SIENNA is coordinated by the University of Twente. 

The collaboration of the Institute for Privacy Law, Data Protection and Technology with the SIENNA project aims at the diffusing of the results of SIENNA research and the organization of events on the issues of privacy and data protection in relation to the three technologies of SIENNA (human genomics, human enhancement and AI & robotics). The vision of the Institute (to cover a wide range of topics related to privacy and data protection law and technology and their normative and technical implications within a multidisciplinary research institute, combining law, philosophy, social sciences, public administration and management sciences sharing the expertise and experiences of legal scholars and privacy law lawyers, electronics engineers, information technology scientists and sociologists) is directly connected to the scientific objectives of the SIENNA project.
