GDPR - Protecting Personal Data

On 24th January, the European Commission produced a progress report on the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation across Europe which comes into effect on 25th May 2018. Titled the " Commission guidance on the direct application of the General Data Protection Regulation ", they call for "all concerned actors to intensify the ongoing work to ensure the consistent application and interpretation of the new rules across the EU and to raise awareness among businesses and citizens".

Prior to the dawning of 2018, Jisc held a conference in London offering practical guidance from a variety of speakers and GDPR specialists to further education colleges and higher education institutions.
