The Article 29 Working Party has adopted a document titled “Guidelines on Consent under Regulation 2016/679” to clarify the requirements of the EU GDPR and has initiated a public consultation on these guidelines which will be open until January 23, 2018.
We urge you to submit a reply to the public consultation to raise your voice and make the case for research. Please note that the Common Service ELSI is working on a joint reply in collaboration with the National Nodes.
If you want to share your individual or organisational response with us, so we can learn from it and take it into account for the joint BBMRI response, please send an email to michaela.th.mayrhofer@bbmri-eric.eu by January 17.
