Joint EOSC-Life & HealthyCloud Hybrid Workshop: Elements of Secure Processing Environments

Many projects and the European law (e.g. Data Governance Act and the draft EHDS Regulation) are built on the assumption that personal data should only be processed in a “Secure Processing Environment” (SPE), as defined in Art. 2 (14) DGA.

Save the date for this workshop, jointly supported by EOSC-Life and HealthyCloud, which will present existing Secure Processing Environment (SPEs) as best practices.

When: 19-20 June 2023

Where: Brussels, Belgium, and online

The workshop goal is to extract and discuss basic technical and organisational requirements to build such an SPE, especially one that complies with the GDA (German Occupational Safety and Health Strategy) and the EHDS (European Health Data Space) requirements.

We will discuss:

• Whether a consensus exists on technical and organisational measures on TREs/SPEs
• What/where certifications are used to demonstrate the compliance
• What approval mechanisms are in place in different countries

Workshop outcome: A report on minimum requirements that can be applied to establish whether a compliant SPE is appropriate for processing personal health data.

We invite:

• Researchers (academia and industry)
• Research Infrastructure Representatives (national and EU)
• EU Commission Representatives from DG RTD
• EU Commission Representatives from DG Sante
• EU Commission Representatives from DG Justice
• EDPB Representatives
• EDPS Representatives
• DPA Representatives
• National Ministry Representatives
• Patient Organisations
