GDD working groups
In GDD working groups, experts from various industries discuss current topics related to data protection and security. They also prepare statements and guidelines to assist companies in practical applications.
There are currently working groups on the following topics, among others:
- Data protection and data security in healthcare and social services
- GDPR-practice
- International
Data protection and data security in healthcare and social services

The working group thrives on the interests and contributions of its participants. Topical initiatives and (possibly even exciting) questions are very welcome, in keeping with the motto “Those who do not act will be acted upon.”
The working group meets four times a year at different locations. A certain degree of continuity in participation is desirable, so a willingness to travel is essential.
Communication takes place via a mailing list. The con-tact person is David Koeppe.
The Focus Group oft he digital summit on data protection
The Digital Summit is a congress organized by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection that has been held annually since 2006. Participants from politics, business, science, and civil society discuss topics and solutions for digital transformation in this era of change. Under the overall leadership of the ministry, platforms develop key topics from the Digital Agenda and present their findings in various formats at the respective summit.
The contact person is Prof. Dr. Rolf Schwartmann.
GDPR-Practice

The GDD working group “GDPR-Practice,” made up of data protection experts and lawyers, was founded with the aim of developing working aids on particularly relevant topics in data protection law. The objective is to provide practical assistance in implementing the often very abstract data protection regulations.
The contact person is Yvette Reif.
