European AI Security Network to host CrossTalk Event discussing innovative solutions on AI and Cybersecurity with European authorities
Brussels, October 22, 2024 – The European AI Security Network (EASiNet) is set to host a highly anticipated CrossTalk Event at the Delegation of the Emilia-Romagna Region to the EU in Brussels on October 22nd. This exclusive, invitation-only event will be a significant step in the collaboration between European-funded AI and cybersecurity projects and key European authorities.
The event will feature ten major EU-funded projects, including TRUMPET, FLUTE, ENCRYPT, HARPOCRATES, PAROMA-MED, KATY, ONCOVALUE, AI4EOSC, EOSC-TITAN, and EOSC-SIESTA. These projects form a network of more than 50 partners across Europe, including hospitals, ICT companies, legal agencies, and research institutes, collaborating to address critical challenges in Cloud Security, Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), and Federated Learning for healthcare applications.
Each of these projects is at the forefront of research aimed at creating secure, privacy-preserving frameworks that will play a vital role in the future of healthcare and AI technologies.
The event will also feature distinguished contributions from the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the European Commission – DG SANTE and DG CONNECT. Their representatives will provide critical insights into ongoing and future European policies and how they can support the implementation of AI-driven innovations while ensuring strong data protection and privacy standards.
Key topics addressed during the event will include Cloud Security for Data, Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), and Federated Learning Adoption and Certification in Healthcare. These topics will cover innovations in secure data storage and processing in cloud environments, cutting-edge methods to protect sensitive data, and the challenges and opportunities of implementing Federated Learning in healthcare, including regulatory compliance and privacy-preserving data-sharing platforms.
Francesco Ghini, Dissemination and Communication Manager of Istituto Romagnolo per la Cura dei Tumori “Dino Amadori” IRST srl for the TRUMPET and FLUTE projects, highlighted the importance of creating collaborative platforms like this event. He stated, “We created this event with the aim of taking concrete steps in the field of AI and cybersecurity by bringing together leading scientists across Europe who are working on future solutions. Connecting them with authorities is pivotal for building the foundations of Europe’s future AI landscape.” Ghini added, “Today, it is quite difficult to create convergent efforts between EU-funded projects and the authorities operating in the same field. Events like this aim to close that gap, optimize efforts, and align all actors to a common objective: shaping the future of AI in Europe.”
