Deadline: 9-Mar-23
The European Commission (EC) requests you to submit proposals for Trusted Environments for Sensitive Data Management in EOSC.
Scope
- The data sets of public authorities are often very sensitive and therefore restricted for access. Sensitive data is not only offered by public authorities, but also commercial entities. It is vital for EOSC to enable its users to engage with such sensitive data sources.
- Safe rooms, safe pods and secure remote access environments all present challenges to physical and logical security even within a single discipline, whilst transdisciplinary norms and transnational legislation present additional challenges. The providers of the sensitive data need environments with high standards of security and privacy guarantees that these datasets require. At the same time the solutions should enable easy access for users and offer practical solutions for working at large scale of data sources, computational resources, and users.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
- Expansion of EOSC’s access to resources provided by public authorities, including national agencies, in highly sensitive areas, such as the health sector, governmental statistics or geo-spatial applications, that ensures the opening of these valuable data sets for novel research through a standard set of methods able to effectively enable sensitive data sharing/processing/analysis;
- Emergence of trusted environments for management and sharing of sensitive data in order to facilitate new ways of using sensitive data sets;
- Demonstration that FAIR data workflows with sensitive data are securely possible and can benefit both the data providers and the wider science community.
Eligibility Criteria
- To become a beneficiary, legal entities must be eligible for funding.
- To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the following countries:
- the Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions,
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States,
- countries associated to Horizon Europe;
- the following low- and middle-income countries.
