We co-organized the 18th International Workshop on Data Privacy Management (DPM), also held in Bydgoszcz. This workshop served as a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on advances in data protection, privacy-preserving computation, and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR). Contributions included theoretical frameworks and practical implementations aimed at enhancing the confidentiality and integrity of personal data in digital systems, with a special focus on privacy challenges in data-intensive applications.
