IPEN Workshop, Vienna

On 9 June 2017, the EDPS is hosting an IPEN workshop in Vienna.

The IPEN initiative was founded in 2014. It supports the creation of engineer groups working on (re)-usable building blocks, design patterns and other tools for selected internet use cases where privacy is at stake.
