The Trust aWare partnership presents a European study at ICE IEEE/ITMC 2025
As part of the 31st edition of the International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation (ICE IEEE/ITMC, 16-19 June 2025), promoted by the IEEE's Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS), one of the main results of the European project TRUST aWARE will be presented: the study Understanding Digital Privacy among EU vulnerable communities: methodological insights from the TRUST aWARE transnational pilot study.
The experience will be recounted by Aldres Alemano for Cibervoluntarios, Tim Jacquemard for Trilateral Research and Annaleda Mazzucato for the Fondazione Mondo Digitale. The event is scheduled for Monday 16 June from 10.30 to 11.30.
The contribution explores the perception of digital privacy among vulnerable groups in Europe - including older people, young people and citizens with low digital literacy - by analysing data collected in a transnational pilot study carried out in seven European countries using a participatory and multidisciplinary approach.
The TRUST aWARE project (2021–2024), funded by the Horizon 2020 programme, has promoted greater awareness and competence on online security and privacy. Activities have included:
• co-creation of digital tools
• participatory training on risks and data protection
• analysis of digital behaviour
• development of advanced techniques for monitoring mobile apps and identifying potential threats to privacy, such as personal data loss.
The project is part of a broader vision of responsible and inclusive innovation, aimed at leaving no one behind in the digital transformation.
