3rd SOTERIA Consortium meeting

A meeting hosted by KU Leuven in Belgium

On the 6th and 7th of October 2022, SOTERIA partners had the pleasure to meet in Leuven, Belgium for the third consortium meeting of the project.

One year after the project start, it was time to review the progress made and to plan for the next year.

Ensure a good foundation

During the first year of the project, we consulted citizens through interviews and surveys to get their needs and expectations for SOTERIA, based on a video presenting the risks associated with personal data. In a second step, citizens were asked about their feedback on SOTERIA concept, again based on a video.

In parallel, the architecture of the future platform was designed, and the technical development associated with it and with the identity verification step were initiated.

In the next months, the work will continue, in order to be ready for the start of the pilots in September 2023.
