Thus, the specific goals of WP6 are to guarantee the compliance of: O6.1 – Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the EU legal landscape with a particular focus on data sharing and governance models for shared public services, in order to ensure that the overall new governance model and framework under which the project is conducted is compliant, in particular in the domain of privacy and data management. O6.2 – Perform a detailed legal and ethical analysis in order to ensure that technological enablers developed within WP3 are developed in consideration with the pertinent normative requirements, in order to ensure data privacy compliance, mitigate data privacy risks in governance models, including in relation to the cross-border flows of data. O6.3 – Ensure that the operations of the project itself, such as use-case validation, collection, processing and use of data, comply with EU data privacy requirements, ensuring fairness and compliance in all cases of project activities.
