The DataPro project embarked on ambitious and extensive research with a view to identify, map and analyse the landscape regarding curricula provision at European and international level, the challenges, needs, skill gaps and training needs in the Data Protection field. We have conducted a survey, focus groups and in-depth interviews in three European countries and we have amassed valuable insights from almost 400 participants.
The 1st Steering Committee Meeting of the DataPRO project meeting was conducted on May 20th and 21st, 2019 in the premises of the European University Cyprus.
We were delighted to meet with the Cypriot Commissioner for personal data protection, Mrs. Irene Loizidou Nikolaidou on 22 of May 2019 to introduce her to our project and discuss data protection under the new landscape as shaped by GDPR.
The main purpose of this survey is to identify common skills and competences for Data Protection Officers. The findings of this survey will act as an adequate basis for the design of innovative, learning-outcome-oriented DPO VET Curriculum & Training course.
The Kick-off Meeting was conducted during 26th -27th September 2018 in Union of Hellenic Chambers of Commerce (UHCC) premises in 6 Akadimias Str., (Day 1) and in Metropolitan College campus in 74 Sorou Str. (Day 2).
