Objective
Join Europe’s most exciting event on data protection in law enforcement on 21-22 October 2025 in Valetta, Malta.
Founded in 2015, the Europol Data Protection Experts Network (EDEN) is a collaboration platform that brings together stakeholders from different backgrounds. It provides a forum for sharing knowledge, best practices, events, and projects related to data protection within a law enforcement context.
EDEN is an invitation-only network and is not suitable for the exchange of operational personal data or classified information. Each year, EDEN organises a conference with speakers and participants from law enforcement, the data protection community, private industry, NGOs, academia, and other interested sectors. To date, eight large-scale EDEN events have been held in The Hague (2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024), Copenhagen (2019), Rome (2021), and Madrid (2023). In addition, EDEN has hosted panels at the International Conference on Computers, Privacy, and Data Protection (CPDP) in Brussels every year since 2020.
