EOSC-SIESTA at the 2026 EOSC Coordination Meeting in Brussels
The EOSC-SIESTA project took part in the fifth annual EOSC Coordination Meeting, held in Brussels on 8–9 July and hosted by the European Commission, alongside 33 other Horizon Europe-funded projects. During the meeting, Álvaro López García and Judith Sáinz-Pardo Díaz presented, on behalf of SIESTA, a success story on scaling cross-project collaboration between AI4EOSC, SIESTA… Read more..
SIESTA Concepts #5: Named Entity Recognition
Sharing cyber incident reports aids threat detection, but they contain personal data that must be anonymised. Since the Named Entity Recognition models behind anonymisation are usually trained in English, EOSC SIESTA researchers tested them on Spanish and found that multilingual models trained on target-language reports work best.

SIESTA tool: DatLeak
DatLeak is a tool developed by the Neurobiology Research Unit (NRU) at Copenhagen University Hospital and available through the SIESTA Dashboard. It detects data leakage in anonymized datasets: when a dataset is randomized or scrambled, the resulting variables can still carry traces of the original values that could link a record back to a real… Read more..
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. Read more..
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. Read more..
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. Read more..
SIESTA Concepts #4 | FAIR Data
EOSC-SIESTA bridges the gap between open science and data protection by applying FAIR principles to sensitive data. Through trusted cloud environments, the project demonstrates that data can be secure, confidential, and controlled while remaining findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable for scientific research.
