In an increasingly digitalised world, the protection of citizens’ rights online has become a fundamental concern. How can we ensure that our rights and freedoms are safe on the vast territory of the Internet? To address this issue and explore innovative solutions, EmpoderaLIVE 2023 brought together advocates of Digital Citizen Sovereignty, on September 26 and 27, 2023, at the Echegaray Theater in Malaga. The event was organised by TRUST aWARE partners Fundación Cibervoluntarios.

TRUST aWARE is excited to announce its participation in the European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) 2023, set to take place from October 25th to 27th in Valencia, Spain. The event will focus on ‘Data and AI in action: sustainable impact and future realities’.

In our conversation, Annaleda and Marco shared their perspectives on a wide range of topics, from the role of their organisation in collaboration with TRUST aWARE, to the global challenges and trends shaping cybersecurity research. We delved into the future of cybersecurity, the objectives behind their upcoming awareness campaign, and the impact of digital engagement with citizens on building stronger cyber protections.

TRUST aWARE will be joining cluster projects for a 2 day physical workshop. It is the first large-scale physical meeting of the Synergies Cluster about cyber security and data protection, and takes place this year in October.
