EduMiDa

At a time when employee “downtime” is becoming financially unsustainable, agile resource planning based on real-time data collection of potentially sensitive attributes - such as employee location data - is of significant economic interest to companies in many industries. On the other hand, data protection is a valuable asset that directly ensures the protection of individuals. While the protection of customer data is frequently discussed, the equally important protection of employee data receives less attention. EduMiDa filled this gap.

Duration, Objectives, and Project Partners

The EduMiDa project was carried out between 2021and aimed to enable the implementation of employee data protection to be verifiable by employees through the development of automatically verifiable metrics for employee data protection, thereby supporting works councils and company data protection officers in fulfilling their participation and oversight obligations.

Funding

The EduMiDa project was based on a call for proposals issued by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
