Practical Information
Meeting venue
The meeting will take place at Lefkippos Tech Park, which is situated within the campus of NCSR Demokritos (Patr. Gregoriou E & 27 Neapoleos Str, 15341 Agia Paraskevi). You should reach the main gate at Demokritos and personnel will provide guidance so as to walk to Lefkippos.
Please use Google Maps (insert route to National Center For Scientific Research Demokritos) – it provides all possible ways to get to the meeting venue via public transport depending where you are coming from.
From the city centre you would take Metro Line 3 (stop at Nomismatokopeio) and then use bus 406, 407 B5 (bus stop across the street from the metro station) and stop at Demokritos (also can be used form the center of Athens).
Choice of accommodation
The centre of Athens will be the best choice as there are no hotels close to the meeting venue. If you would like to choose an airbnb (or similar type of accommodation) you cool look into Agia Paraskevi or Cholargos areas. Also Psyrri or Syntagma areas (in the centre) are convenient, as the metro is close.

Presented by Tijmen Schep / PineappleJazz
Privacy Label is a communication tool to provide clear, transparent and multi-layered privacy information to people. Privacy Label can be integrated into your organisation’s website. Or you can provide specific information for every project, product or even just for a questionnaire on your website. Tijmen Schep is a technology critic and privacy designer, who coined the term “social cooling” to describe the long term risks to society if reputation systems continue to gain influence. Amongst other things, he works for the EU and the Dutch government, helping a wider audience understand the shift from information society to reputation society.
#1 Data Governance
Presentations:
- A NEW GOVERNANCE
Presented by Olivier Dion and Matthias De Bièvre
We are launching the ‘a New Governance’ initiative by MyData. The goal is to coordinate all the stakeholders of the ecosystem in order to propose shared and open standards for the free flow of data under the strict individual’s control, following the MyData values, architechture and principles. We want this project to be the result of a global discussion with academics, public institutions, non-profit, large corporations, startups and people. The project will start with the Brussels hub in November 2019, in direct line with the EU Commission, we now call for all the hubs to join the initiative. - Me2B ALLIANCE
