The first review of the PolicyCLOUD H2020-870675 project (https://policycloud.eu/) was successfully held by the European Commission on the 19th of May 2021. The PolicyCLOUD project aims to harness the potential of digitisation, big data and cloud technologies to improve the modelling, creation and implementation of policy. The project addresses challenges faced by many businesses and public administrations for improving how they make policy decisions by accessing and using data. The PolicyCLOUD consortium successfully presented the project results, where UBITECH’s Computing Systems, Software and Services research group displayed the work done on the Data Governance model, as well as on the overall Protection and Privacy Enforcement. More specifically, UBITECH’s role is to fulfil the need to acquire and manage the data that will be used by PolicyCLOUD, as well as to provide the tools that can be used to control data in the different phases of the data lifecycle. The reviewers and the PO were very satisfied with the overall results of the project and provided some really interesting feedback and recommendations for future work.
