SRIW’s Recent Happenings
Dear Readers,
Welcome back to the second edition of our newsletter. A busy month lies behind us. We put lots of effort in finalizing additional recordings of our last year’s event AI-Crisis Resilience Platforms: Opportunities and Challenges that we would like to share with you. Now available to watch are Keynnote III “Crisis resilience management from a corporate perspective”, Keynote IV “AI and intellectual property challenges exemplified through ResKriVer” and Panel I “AI, quo vadis?”. Have fun watching!
Furthermore, the Door-to-Door-Sales code of conduct (dt.: Haustürkodex) was proud to announce several commitments last month. For those companies, the compliance assessment by the monitoring body SCOPE Europe Monitoring has already been initiated. For more information on the assessment, see below.
Last but not least we were thrilled to submit our feedback on the Euopean Commission’s initiative aiming to report how the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is applied across the Member States of the European Union. Read more about our comments on the application of GDPR right below.
Wishing you a pleasant read,
