ACLC Newsletter May 2022

Hello, I’m Ava Creemers and I recently started as a policy officer in the FGW research department. In that capacity, I’ll be taking over Brigit’s role as ACLC and LOT coordinator. Some of you may still know me from when I was a student at the UvA in 2009-2014: I did my BA in Dutch language and Culture and the rMA in Linguistics. Afterwards, I did my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania and a postdoc at the MPI in Nijmegen.
 
In my free time, I enjoy going for long runs along the Vecht in Utrecht and cooking my way through all of the Ottolenghi cookbooks.
 
You can reach me via email or visit me in BG3 (Binnengasthuisstraat 9) room 1.02. I look forward to meeting all of you!

Workshop Anonymising and pseudonymising  

15 June 2022 | Utrecht

This interactive workshop is an introduction of basic techniques and tools for protecting your (personal) sensitive data. In the first part, the differences between fully-identifiable data, anonymous and pseudonymised data will be explained. Subjects like techniques, tools and the protection model(K-anonymity, L-diversity, T-closeness) will be handled. You will also get the opportunity to try-out these de-identification techniques in hands-on exercises. In the second part we will handle different levels of access control( authentication and authorization) and best practices on passwords. Possible tools for encryption will be discussed. This second part will also be followed by hands-on exercises, during which you consider what measurements you have already taken and what can be improved. Registration
