Pilot with a Trusted Third Party procedure in the ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer (OSSC)

Together with SURF and CBS, ODISSEI reached a milestone by re-establishing the legal framework for operating the ODISSEI Secure Supercomputer (OSSC). In the OSSC, researchers can perform analyses of extremely sensitive CBS microdata by using SURF’s high-performance computing environment Snellius. The legal framework now includes a Trusted Third Party (TTP) procedure that opens up more research opportunities when a researcher cannot share the data with CBS directly. A pilot of the TTP procedure will be conducted by the Netherlands Twin Register (NTR).

ODISSEI Event: “The Future of Secure Data Sharing”

ODISSEI is hosting The Future of Secure Data Sharing event on the 5th of June, 2024, 09.00-13.30, focusing on legislative implications and innovation opportunities for research following the introduction of the European Data Governance Act and Data Act. These two acts are expected to significantly affect research and the event will explore how precisely the two acts will influence the secure sharing of sensitive data. Questions to which the event will seek an answer include: What is a data altruism organisation? Can companies be enforced to share data? Which infrastructure will be needed to facilitate such sensitive data sharing? 

The main language will be Dutch and the event will take place at Congresgebouw De Vereeniging in Utrecht.
