SIESTA Synergies: EOSC-SIESTA at the TESSERA Final Event
On June 26th, 2026, EOSC-SIESTA will participate in the final event of the TESSERA project, joining the session dedicated to sibling projects and related initiatives to present a comprehensive overview of the project goals, tools, and capabilities.
SIESTA tool: BIDScramble
BIDScramble is an open-source tool developed by Radboud University within the EOSC-SIESTA project to facilitate the secure reuse of sensitive neuroimaging data. It transforms BIDS-formatted datasets into anonymous scrambled versions that maintain original structural and statistical properties.
SIESTA Tool: Dashboard
The EOSC-SIESTA Dashboard is the main interface connecting the project’s technical infrastructure with its practical research use cases. Based on Onyxia, this unified platform features a modular service catalog, MinIO S3-compatible storage, and a secure secret-management system, allowing researchers to safely access and analyze sensitive datasets.
SIESTA Tool: Text Anonymization on Sensitive Data
EOSC-SIESTA has developed a text anonymization tool prototype to securely share sensitive cyber incident reports. Created by Universidad de León, the tool uses AI and four anonymization techniques to mask confidential data, enabling safe data reuse for research, machine learning, and collaborative cyber defence.
New EOSC-SIESTA publication: privacy-preserving Federated Learning in medical imaging
A new EOSC-SIESTA publication by IFCA-CSIC, INRIA, and TU Delft explores privacy protection in Federated Learning using sensitive medical imaging data. The study proposes a metric-privacy-inspired noise calibration strategy that improves global model accuracy while defending against Client Inference Attacks.
Siesta Concepts: Open Science
Open Science promotes a transparent and collaborative research ecosystem, driven by Europe’s EOSC initiative. However, sharing sensitive data requires balancing openness with privacy. EOSC-SIESTA addresses this challenge by developing trusted, cloud-based environments and privacy-preserving tools that make sensitive data securely shareable and usable under FAIR principles.
Discover UC3 Energy Domain Tool: optimising solar battery management in EOSC-SIESTA
EOSC-SIESTA addresses the challenge of analyzing sensitive data without compromising privacy through its energy domain use case (UC3). Focusing on solar installations, the project utilizes trusted execution environments and anonymization techniques to secure sensitive household consumption dat
Discover pyCANON: assessing dataset anonymity in EOSC-SIESTA
pyCANON is an open-source Python library and web application developed within EOSC-SIESTA to assess the anonymity and privacy risks of tabular datasets. Integrated into the project’s dashboard, it evaluates data against key anonymity models like k-anonymity and l-diversity, enabling researchers to make informed decisions before sharing sensitive information.
Advancing collaboration and technical progress: the upcoming EOSC-SIESTA Second All Hands Meeting
Building on the strong collaborative foundations established during previous All Hands Meetings, the Second EOSC-SIESTA All Hands Meeting will serve as a key milestone to assess the progress achieved so far and to align the consortium on the next phase of the project. The meeting will take place in Madrid, hosted at the CSIC –…
CSIC–IFISC launches “Epidemiradar” as part of EOSC-SIESTA’s Epidemiology Use Case
The CSIC–IFISC partner leads the Epidemiology use case (WP14) within project, the team has launched Epidemiradar, a citizen science platform designed to monitor influenza and COVID-19 in Spain, aiming to expand its network of volunteers and improve the tracking of respiratory diseases. Every year, thousands of people in Spain experience mild flu-like symptoms without seeking…
