General Data Protection Regulation 2018
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) is a regulation by which the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission intend to strengthen and unify data protection for all individuals within the European Union (EU). This change is effective from 25th May 2018.
As a Programme team we have established a project to assess the impact of GDPR on the ESR service. Whilst we are already compliant in many areas, we have a small number of items that we are looking to address and are expecting to be compliant by 25th May 2018. We will share an update with all ESR User Organisations in early 2018, ahead of the May 2018 deadline.
