P&B Guideline: People-oriented meeting organisation for Beginners

In science, many of us have to organise a workshop or other meetings at some point. The organisation of such meetings can present certain challenges, particularly in the context of the management of participants' personal data. Consequently, the primary course of action would be to consult the data protection office of one's own institution. In this department, personnel are available to provide information and assistance on data protection matters. Nevertheless, it is often useful to have a list that is easily comprehensible in order to provide a rapid overview of the points that should be considered when planning a meeting according to data protection. For this purpose the P&B Guideline was developed to support ourselves and others with smooth meeting organisation. The guideline is meant as a supportive tool.
Disclaimer: Legal assurance, however, can only be given by legal personnel and should therefore not be assumed to be fully covered when adhering to the guideline. Nonetheless, adhering to the guideline will give you a good direction for making your meeting organisation privacy-oriented.
