Join our explainer webinar at 1-2:30 pm CEST, on June 24th. Earlier this year, the European Commission adopted EIDAS 2.0, which updates the 2014 regulation on Electronic Identification, Authentication, and Trust Services. Among other things, the update refines the rules for qualified trust service providers and establishes the EUDI wallet. This comes in the context of the increasing adoption of open wallet standards and has potentially huge implications for organisations offering human-centric data solutions. This webinar will introduce and explain eIDAS 2.0 and explore key questions about what it means for human-centric solution providers. The last 45 minutes will be a closed Q/A session for MyData members to explore deep-dive issues together with eIDAS experts. A detailed agenda will be shared ahead of time. Welcome to join the launch event of MyData Awards 2024-25 on 13 June! We will announce the new awards programme and discuss how to advance MyData vision with prominent speakers from various areas. The MyData Awards celebrate organisations and individuals across all sectors of society and business that are making tangible progress towards building a world where individuals control their own data and data about them. The awards will recognise achievements in areas of Business, Technology, Governance and Thought Leadership. At the launch event, inspiring speakers will discuss the most promising ways in each of these areas can help build a more human-centric world and what needs to happen to advance the MyData vision.

Agenda
Practicalities
#MyData4children brunch meetup
Further, we’d like to invite you to take part in the online part of SitraLab 6 – Datalla parempia palveluita final event, September 19, 2024 from 3-5 PM. Feel free to invite a collegue!
We have taken are part in The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra’s Data Lab program for novel data-driven services, with a team and concept called EDWARD, a data-driven service for families to cultivate a child’s lifelong learning path. As the Sitra Lab program is ending on September 19, we thought we would use the day to gather together a larger group of actors to engage together, not so much on EDWARD, but more broadly on the topic of children, parenthood and data.
About MyData4Childen – thematic group
The mission of the MyData4Children, a thematic group of MyData Global, is to protect, empower and inspire families as they construct their digital worlds and their future.
The goal of this meetings is to understand what others interested in this topic are currently doing and to identify how we might work together, for example in:
– joint projects
– joint funding
– joint advocacy
– other community-building
About EDWARD – data-driven service for families
EDWARD is a data-driven service for families to cultivate a child’s life-long learning path. It follows MyData principles, with the family as the point of integration for the data. EDWARD manages the child’s data and provides families with actionable insights to prepare for the future. One might say that the EDWARD service is the “OURA ring for life-long learning”, starting from the very beginning of life. Our service is named after our key stakeholder Edward, to always remind us why and for whom we are doing this.
We are piloting a prototype with schools in Helsinki and Dublin – and are looking for allies and partners like yourself!
