To mark Europe Day, the European institutions open their doors to the public on 9 May 2026, and we would love to welcome you! Join us for a day full of discovery and interaction, and explore the engaging activities prepared by the EDPS and the EDPB.
Following the presentation of the European Data Protection Supervisor’s Annual Report 2025 at the European Parliament, we invite you to a press conference during which Wojciech Wiewiórowski will present an overview of the EDPS’s activities during the year.
Here we are again with the latest EDPS Newsletter! This time around, we look at upcoming events, our strategic vision under the AI Act, two more joint opinions we issued with the European Data Protection Board (relating to cybersecurity and biotech proposals), and more.
We have a bumper newsletter this time around, full of all sorts of goings-on in the world of data protection and the EDPS. The start to 2026 has been very busy indeed. We've issued joint opinions with the European Data Protection Board on both the Digital Omnibus and the AI Act. We've established rules to protect data protection officer independence within European institutions. The Supervisor has penned blogposts on EDPS audits, the AI Act Correspondents Network, and the future of regulatory cooperation.
Data Protection Day (28 January) celebrates the signing of Convention 108, the first legally binding treaty protecting privacy in the digital age. To mark the occasion, the Council of Europe (CoE) and the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) are co-organising a one-day event focused on new frontiers in data protection. The conference will explore the challenges and opportunities that arise when innovation and emerging technologies intersect with privacy risks and the regulatory framework.
