CINECA Catalogue of Canadian, European and African ethical and legal gaps D7.2

Remaining liberties that GDPR provides to EU Member States as well as remaining ambiguities on GDPR interpretation keep feeding the debates in the ethical and legal literature. Projects like CINECA, seeking to facilitate health data exchanges between cohorts in Europe, Canada and Africa, offer valuable experience and input on essential ethical and legal gaps between countries and cohorts on questions such as the choice of the ethical lawful basis for international health data sharing and secondary processing for research purposes. The focus of this deliverable will be on answering, both from a legal and an ethical point of view, two priority questions: How to choose a legal basis for CINECA’s data processing? And how should CINECA apprehend broad consent to further data processing? The goal will be to study how the CINECA project could be efficiently conducted (especially data sharing) while being legally compliant with relevant laws and regulations and most of all, being compliant with established ethical guidelines and practices across three continents
