MyData 2017
The future of the internet is human-centric
Human-centric approach to personal data is an emerging trend arising from changing regulation and contemporary digital human rights issues. For this vision to be realised, we need to build awareness and develop new solutions to challenge the current data economy – new ways of thinking are required from society at large. The conference demonstrates the social and economic value of human-centric approaches to personal data handling.
Building a global community and sharing ideas
MyData 2017 is an international get-together for personal data specialists. The conference is a gathering for building ties, sharing ideas, and spreading the word about human-centric personal data principles and solutions. MyData 2017 is created and curated by experts on privacy and data-driven applications.
Two-way learning street
The conference welcomes all interested parties to come together to gain a better understanding of how to make the data economy work for people through the expertise of the community. At the same time we believe that we, the existing community, need to learn from others to improve. MyData 2017 is a meeting place for both existing MyData advocates and those who want to learn about the principles of human-centric approach to personal data.

Round table – London
After the first Personal Information and Management Systems (PIMS) round table held in Brussels in November 2015, the EU PIMS ecosystem has grown in the last year and during the more recent workshops in Paris (March) and Helsinki (September). It now consists of more than 60 different players actively establishing their role in the complexity of the personal information economy landscape.
Building on the previous workshops, this fourth event is being hosted by Digital Catapult and supported by the Personal Data & Trust Network, MesInfo and MyData. This event will:
- Stimulate the sharing of news and updates within the ecosystem
- Develop existing projects and collaborations, including the White Book, Use Case Repository, and Personal Data Receipts
- Help new collaboration between participants to emerge: identifying and mapping available funding streams, either for collaborative R&D or commercial projects, and leveraging European or other funding opportunities
- Kickstart the preparation for the MyData 2017 event
- …and inlcuding anything else relevant that the PIMS community wants to add to the programme!
This workshop is open to all organisations that are taking an active role in the personal data ecosystem, including SMEs that are providing solutions, research institutes, regulatory bodies or not-for profit organisations.
The workshop will run across 15 and 16 December with the main sessions taking place on the second day. The proposed agenda is outlined below and is subject to change. Particularly because we are seeking pitches and proposals from the PIMS community to contribute to the programme. **Refer to asterisked sections below for opportunities for you to contribute.**

- Session 1: PIMS White Book: current state, next steps, responsibilities assignment (Chair, Antti Jogi Poikola)
- Session 2: Funding landscape and collaboration workshop: leveraging on Thursday’s pitch presentations of existing funding opportunities, this session will be organised as a participatory workshop where participants will work together in order to map available funding streams, identify gaps and develop recommendations for relevant stakeholders. Participants will also work on activities to get to know each other, their business, their interest, develop a value proposition for given funding opportunities, and eventually identify possible consortia for further collaboration (Chairs, Michele Nati and Robert Guinness)
13:00-14:00 Lunch
14:00-16:00 Parallel sessions:
- Session 3: EU personal data ecosystems: Presentation of existing ‘PIMS-like’ pilots and initiatives, current use cases and involved stakeholders, and feedback on the ground in Europe. A number of initiatives will be presented, and afterwards participants will be organised at tables to discuss possible collaboration depending on the initiative they are interested in and willing to contribute to. **We are seeking presenters willing to promote a national initiative that they are currently involved in and looking for additional collaboration and support for. Case studies to include: Finland, France, UK, Estonia, (TBC).(Chair, Lucie Burgess)
- Session 4: Should the PIMS community get organised?: This session will kick off a discussion about how the interactions among the PIMS community, which started in Brussels a year ago, should evolve in its collective goals and ways of working. The goal is not to reach conclusions immediately, but rather create a process that could allow to make initial decisions during our next meetings in the spring (Chair, Daniel Kaplan). The session will focus on five questions:
- Why? What benefits could we expect from organising the PIMS community?
- Principles? Around which small core of principles would we gather?
- Who? What is the perimeter of the community?
- How? What could an effort at organising our community look like?
- Now what? Next steps
16:00-17:00 Plenary – Summary of the day

MyData 2016
WHAT
MyData is a human centered approach in personal data management that combines industry need to data with digital human rights. MyData 2016 conference brings together an international crowd of 1000 people from businesses, research community, civil society and government to shape the fundamentals on how personal data is managed globally.
WHY
Personal data has increasingly significant social, economic, and practical value. The EU’s recent General Data Protection Regulation changes the landscape in which organizations operate. Organizations around the globe are busy exploring the opportunities of human centric personal data. Whole industries such as energy, health & wellbeing, or finance, are already being disrupted by this trend.
HOW
Make it happen, make it right!
Join the conference to learn and share your expertise on current landscape and future roadmap of the emerging world of human centric personal data management.
