In 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aiming to improve data protection for individuals across the EU will become directly applicable. Organisations will need to be compliant with the new rules and should act immediately.
In this relation, the University of Groningen, partner of LIBRe Foundation, has started a free online course dedicated to provide professionals with good knowledge of the GDPR and understanding how it will affect them and how to make their organisations compliant.
Participants will explore data subjects’ rights, data controllers’ and processors’ obligations, and enforcement and compliance notions in the context of the Regulation.
The course will be held online for four weeks, with intensity of 3 hours per week. It is free for participation and options for upgrade are available.
The course is specifically developed for professionals working for companies, public authorities and bodies, students, and anyone who wishes to know more about data protection and the GDPR, especially those handling personal data.
The first starting date will be 13 November 2017.
