Results in brief
Privacy and Usability
The Privacy and Usability (Privacy&Us) innovative training network addresses the problem of protecting citizens' privacy, while enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their actions with privacy implications. With the rapid accumulation and processing of personal data by numerous organisations, it is of paramount importance to protect people from adverse uses of their data, while allowing them to enjoy the benefits the use of these data can possibly provide. To achieve that it is key to tackle the problem of usability, including aspects related to models of behavior, interaction design, technology design, and risk analysis and law. The overall objective of Privacy&Us is to instruct thirteen creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early stage researchers (ESRs) to be able to reason, design and develop innovative solutions to questions related to the protection of citizens' privacy, considering the multidisciplinary and intersectoral aspects of the issue. The ESRs were trained to face both current and future challenges in the area of privacy and usability by offering a combination of research-related and transferable competence skills. These skills enhanced their career perspectives in both the academic and non-academic sectors. All ESRs successfully completed all planned steps of their training. The ESRs received comprehensive training and engaged in intersectoral collaboration. Through this collaborative effort, Privacy&Us made a significant contribution and impact to the ESRs future careers.

Project objective
With the rapid accumulation and processing of personal data by numerous organizations, it is of paramount importance to protect people from adverse uses of their data, while allowing them to enjoy the benefits the use of these data can possibly provide. This is the question of protecting citizens’ privacy, while enabling them to make informed decisions regarding their actions with privacy implications.The PRIVACY.US innovative training network will train thirteen creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early stage researchers (ESRs) to be able to reason, design and develop innovative solutions to questions related to the protection of citizens’ privacy, considering the multidisciplinary and intersectoral aspects of the issue. ESRs will be trained to face both current and future challenges in the area of privacy and usability. PRIVACY.US offers a combination of research-related and transferable competence skills that will enhance the career perspectives of the ESRs in both the academic and non-academic sectors.The consortium consists of five universities and five non-academic organizations. This deliberate and balanced construction will ensure that the project outcomes and impacts are maximal with respect to the call criteria and the EU policy areas regarding data security and privacy. The market potential for the generated knowledge is also a key element of this proposal. The consortium industrial partners are three SMEs, one large enterprise, and a data-protection authority.The ESRs will receive comprehensive training and engage in intersectoral collaboration. Through this collaborative effort, the project will make a significant contribution and impact to the ESRs future careers. It will also contribute to shaping future privacy policies and practices in Europe and will significantly advance the state of the art in privacy and usability research.
