🤝 Meet Philipp, from Austria 🇦🇹 , who joined the EDPS AI Unit as a Blue Book Trainee in October:

“With a lifelong interest in innovative technologies 💻 and a background in Computer Science and Policy Making 👨‍💻 , I was keen to explore how digital innovation is shaped by public regulation. When I was selected for the Blue Book traineeship, the EDPS AI Unit felt like a unique opportunity to contribute to safeguarding the most influential digital technology of our time, while supporting the EU’s innovative capacity ⚙️ .

Working on the AI Act, one of the most actively debated and evolving regulatory frameworks, allowed me to closely follow how public and private actors cooperate in shaping ⚖️ legislative responses to emerging technologies.

🚀 Interested in seeing how governance and compliance shape data protection at EU level? Then join the EDPS as #BlueBookTrainee.

🤝 Meet Melis, from Bulgaria🇧🇬 , who joined the EDPS Governance and Internal Compliance Unit as a Blue Book Trainee in October:

“From the early years of my legal studies, I had an interest in data protection because of its close connection with emerging technologies and its core role in safeguarding fundamental human rights in the digital age. Considering the EDPS’s central role in this field, I wanted to become part of it and applied for the Blue Book traineeship.

Building on my previous experience as a lawyer and data protection consultant, I was keen to understand how compliance operates within the European Institutions. During my traineeship at the Governance and Internal Compliance Unit, I had the opportunity to work with the Data Protection Officer of the EDPS, on the institutional compliance matters. I also had the chance to discuss the issues that raised my curiosity with professionals from different fields, which further broadened my perspective.

Being a trainee at the EDPS, a specialised institution with an encouraging and supportive working environment, has been a highly rewarding experience.”

🤝 Meet Biel, from Spain, who joined the EDPS Technology and Privacy Unit as a Blue Book Trainee in October:

“Throughout my studies as well as my prior career, the EDPS (and the EDPB) has stood out to me as a guiding light for data protection and digital rights across Europe. So, when I was shortlisted for the Blue Book traineeship, EDPS was my first and only option.

During my time here, among other exciting tasks, I had the opportunity to analyse the legal implications of different emerging technologies, which made me feel at the forefront of developments in the field.

As a highly specialised institution, the EDPS enabled me to deepen my knowledge while gaining first-hand, day-to-day insight into how EU institutions operate in practice. This combination of technical substance, real responsibility and public-service mission made the experience both demanding and rewarding.”
