Welcome by Henk Jan Vink Director Network Information TNO
Host BDVA Small Big Data Summit
It is with great pleasure that TNO welcomes the Big Data Value Association for the
2016 Small Summit in The Hague. As a Member of th BDVA Board of Directors, I am
very pleased to have been able to support the organization of this BDVA great event.
Today data is everywhere and it is rapidly becoming business’ biggest resource.
Through numerous systems and devices, a huge amount of data can be collected. Just
think of the many sensor systems, such as surveillance cameras, loops in the road,
smartphones or the digital markers we create ourselves by posting photos on
Facebook or comments on Twitter. The innovating power of ICT enables us to do
things differently: more efficiently, better, faster, smarter and more sustainably. ICT
innovations can help solve complex societal issues like climate change, demographic
ageing, scarcity, education, mobility, care and safety. In fact, the smart application of
ICT is a precondition for this.
At TNO we believe in the joint creation of economic and social value by working in
close collaboration with partners. Therefore it is with great pleasure to welcome you in
The Hague on our Small Big Data Value Association Summit. A special word of thank
goes to our sponsors and to the City of The Hague. Without their contributions this
event would not have been possible. Together with the Big Data Value Association and
our partners in dutch digital delta we have set up an inspiring and interactive program.
I trust that we will have good opportunity to jointly make this a succesful and
enjoyable summit.

Welcome by Ms van Engelshoven
Deputy Mayor Knowledge Economy,
International Affairs, Youth and Education
On behalf of the City of The Hague, I am pleased to welcome you to the Small Big Data
Summit of the Big Data Value Association, held here in The Hague.
The Hague is the international city of Peace and Justice. We hope you feel at home
these days. Besides the conference, we encourage you to take the chance to visit other
places, organisations and companies in our city. Did you know that The Hague hosts
the Hague Security Delta, many telecom companies and more than 160 international
organizations and non-governmental organizations? This number is still growing.
Recently we have seen a growth of larger companies, innovative start–ups and
organisations working in the field of Justice Innovation and for example Big Data for
Peace and Humanity. The Hague’s focus is on innovation in the peace and justice
sector and, together with the University of Leiden, the Technical University Delft and
many other partners we cooperate in the Big Data for Peace and Humanity Hub.
To conclude, we would like to wish you a very pleasant conference. We hope to see
you again in The Hague, at one of the other events on big data!
With kind regards,
Ingrid van Engelshoven
Deputy Mayor Knowledge Economy, International Affairs, Youth and Education
Welcome by Stuart Campbell Secretary General, BDVA
Small World: Big Data
Welcome to The Hague. The Big Data Value Association has just passed its first
operational birthday and what a year it has been. We are one of the fastest growing
PPPs for members even doubling in size from our Madrid summit where we were 62
members to over 130 today.
Talking of summits, we had over 350 people at Madrid and we expect 200 at this one –
this is our “Small Big Data Summit” after all. And with a 99% ‘come again’ rating from
the feedback from last year, TNO and all those involved in the organisation, are under
no pressure!
We have multiple exciting sessions lined up for you from “Precision Agriculture” to the
“Precision Medicine” and including “Big Data for Peace, Humanity and Justice” – what
could be more suited since I am sure you know the Hague is the center for the UNs
International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court. In fact this relates
to the central theme of this year’s summit: “Societal Impact of Big Data”.
The primary goals of the summits are the same: “To drive forward the Big Data Value
ecosystem and its Digital Agenda for the benefit of Europe, its Companies and Citizens;
and to engage in the Big Data Value Public Private Partnership, its Programme and
Opportunities”. But, this summit has an additional one: “To provide final network and
proposal/consortium activities for up-coming calls”. In case you did not know, the Big
Data Value related calls, ICT 14-17, are open and ending mid-April so please take this
opportunity to network and interact, catalyse your information and data, be active and
contribute to the discussion.
But also take the opportunity to look ahead; the European Commission will launch the
2018+ Big Data Work Programme Consultation at the Summit which will be featured
during the program strand: “The future of Big Data”. Here you will also receive news
of the current edition of our Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda and
importantly the next steps of the process to influence the 2018+ programme whose
planning is already under way. The BDVA had great influence in the current
workprogramme and we expect this influence can increase with an ever closer
cooperation between the public (European Commission) and private sides (BDVA) of
the BDV PPP.
In Madrid I spoke about the Sherpa’ that made this event happen and the same is true
in the Netherlands . There are many of course, and many of you are involved in
sessions, speeches etc…but I would particularly like to thank the primary organisation:
Team of Christine (TNO), dutch digital delta and also Marta (U-Tad), Andreas (Paluno),
Daniel (ITI) and Oscar (BDVA Secretariat). I want also to thank our sponsors. From
micro-companies and research organisation, to global corporates: The City of The
Hague, the Data Science Center, Tilde, Orange, Vicomtech, INRIA, Thales, EGI, Paluno,
CWI, Delft Data Science, CINI and NLR.
You may know the Dutch are not only famous for Cheese and Windmills, but they are
also famous amongst other things for their coffee (so I have heard). But one of the
things close to every Dutchman’s heart is the “polder model” - meaning a system of
consultation and working together to reach consensus. First used in the Netherlands
by the water boards of the 17th century who cooperated with each other during floods
– and sometimes called 'the politics of wet feet'.
So let’s work together, continuing to work hard and build the PPP, but also including
getting our feet wet at the evening meal where some coaches will transport you to a
sunny beach, and we can construct out polders, proposals and pina coladas.
Finally, if you are not yet a member of BDVA – why not? You are already half way with
us! Join us! Details at bdva.eu and the treasurer and BDVA Secretariat is on-site!
I wish all of us a successful event.

Platinum sponsor: Data Science initiative
Data Science: a unique data science initiative
All over the world enormous sets of data are being collected by enterprises. Just think about the amounts of data Google, Spotify, Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram and many more companies are collecting every day. These data must and can be given value and meaning. Data science is becoming more and more essential to find answers to the challenges of our era. The demand for highly educated data scientists is growing rapidly. The national and international competition for recruiting specialists thus is fierce. In September 2015, a new data science initiative was introduced, a unique concept. In three different major cities in The Netherlands Data Science can be studied, researched and applied through a Bachelor and Master’s programs, PDeng education, Data Science, Centers and incorporation into existing ecosystems. With this unique cooperation between Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology we create a new knowledge and business infrastructure at the heart of the future. The intentions outlined include the founding of a data science graduate school focused on entrepreneurship (study program for Master’s and Post-Master’s-level data scientists), including a research center. Eindhoven University of Technology and Tilburg University will also provide a joint Bachelor program, a joint Master program and Master’s programs in the field of data science at their respective campus. As far as education is concerned there are currently two Master’s tracks and there will be a number of new tracks in 2016: For more information about these programs or to keep up to date about the new developments in Data Science please visit www.datasciencemasters.nl

Panel discussion members and keynotes
Panel discussion ‘The societal impact of Big Data’
Seeking the balance between innovation and human values
Big Data and data analytics can enable more efficient working processes, smarter products,
and services that could benefit society as a whole. As data becomes more easily available,
technology may deliver more capabilities and benefits to society at a lower cost.
The growth of Big Data will have a substantial impact on our society. For example, an e-coach
helps you to stay fit on the one hand but also influences your behaviour. Care robots may help
to solve problems around care of the elderly, but and may have an impersonal effect, and may
further distance people from taking care of each other. And while profiling data makes
personal advertisements possible, it can also be highly intrusive, result in extensive
surveillance and data privacy issues as well as lead to the exclusion of groups.
New questions need to be answered. Should algorithms make ethical and legal judgments?
Algorithms already place people on no fly lists. Do schools have to pay more attention to data
literacy so that people know what the consequences are of sharing data? Does legislation
(European Data Protection Regulation) give enough protection to individuals especially in view
of ‘safe harbor’ agreements? And will too much protection have an effect on European
competitiveness or on existing business models?
It’s time for a good debate!

TF9 “Societal Challenges”
Objectives of the session: Since 2014, policymakers, research organizations, and funders of science have turned their attention to sex-and-gender aspects of the content of research. For example, heart disease has long been considered a male disease and “evidence-based” diagnostic tests, treatments, and clinical standards are based on the most common presentation and pathophysiology in men. Yet heart disease is a major killer of women as well. As a result of this biased thinking, heart medicine does not work well for women. Examples of this oversight of women are not only in the area of medicine, but also in engineering. Society needs the insights of women as a target group in scientific research to improve not only men’s lives but women’s too. Scientists have much to gain from embracing this trend, including an increased chance of getting published and an edge when applying for research funds. Big data might be a good way to solve this shortcoming in current scientific methods. The session will explore how big data can improve scientific output and outcome of results of current and future research, but also if big data can improve past, biased results. Format of the session: The session will be run as an interactive workshop, which is open for everyone, but especially for participants looking for new opportunities with respect to big data. We will start with a short introduction of the sex-and-gender aspects of the content of research. What is the problem? What is the opportunity? In an interactive session with sub-groups, we will then explore the bias in research areas and research methods (research priorities, formulation of concepts, standards or models, design studies, or data analysis, interpretation and visualisation). After that we will explore possible solutions form a data perspective: e.g., can we improve input, processing and output? Is new data required to make sure that women are adequately researched in science? Can we improve past research by adding big data? We will end the session with a group summary and an open call for authors for a white paper about this topic. Expected outcomes at Summit:
● Insights in the possibility of big data to add value with target group insights to past, current and future scientific research
● Insights into the value of big data for target group research when applying for research funds.
Expected outcomes after Summit: ● White paper about the new applications and value for Big Data: Targeting women in research
studies

TF5 “Legal” TF6 “Technical”
Objectives of the session:
As the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is close to adoption, it is important to address the
implementation in practice of key concepts and provisions.
The purpose of the session is to identify and discuss on current and future implementation challenges
of:
- Privacy by Design (PbD)
- Data Protection Officer (DPO) and
- Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).
The selection of these topics took into account the 2016 action plan for the implementation of the
GDPR, issued by the Article 29 Working Party on 2 February.
In the session we want to answer questions such as: How do legal, technology and business interact to
put PbD into practice? What does PbD mean for company structure? How can PbD become
commercially viable? How to include privacy in existing business models?
How will the introduction of DPIA impact existing business processes? How can those who ultimately
stand to profit from PbD – users and citizens – become involved in the PbD and DPIA processes? The
function of DPO: cornerstone in the implementation of PbD?
How can standardization and certification initiatives take this reality into account?
Format of the session:
Privacy by Design (PbD) is a means of involving all relevant stakeholders active in engineering, law,
organisational processes, business models, user interaction, or organisational cultures.
We invite participants from different disciplines (technical, legal, social science, business) to join the
discussion and work together to achieve the expected outcome.
Expected outcomes at Summit: ● Awareness on the relevance of the issues and the need for a multi-stakeholder approach ● Identification and discussion on current and future implementation challenges
Expected outcomes after Summit:
● Support for the development of a wider framework for Privacy by Design (PbD): beyond a purely legal view, beyond a regulatory view, beyond a purely technical view
● Input for guidelines, best practices, tools and procedures to prepare for the entry into force of the GDPR
● Collaboration options

TF0 “Governance and Member Engagement”
Objectives: To inform recent new members, or potential new members about BDVA at a high level through a 20 minute presentation and an interactive Q&A session with the BDVA Secretary General. Expectations: In this session, participants will be able to:
● Understand the background, current situation, and future expectations of BDVA ● Understand how they could be involved or more involved in task forces, subgroups etc ● Raise questions for guidance in a Q&A format
Note: due to its nature this session will be a little different than others and will be composed of a longer presentation and a long Q&A session. There will be no open debate as such but this could also happen. Dependent on numbers & interest, there will also be a ‘drop-in’ session for individual discussions Outcomes at Summit: The expected tangible outcomes of this session are:
● A list of topics or points which were raised at the session, for BDVA to consider implementing administratively, or within its structures by other groups
● New member conversions ● More engaged recently joined members ● Administrative queries resolved
Outcomes beyond summit: The expected tangible outcomes following this session are:
● New Members ● More engaged recently joined members ● New directions and changed directions for the BDVA
