TITAN Project Showcases Trust Architectures in South Korea

On Friday, 10th July 2026, international dissemination and academic networking activities for the Horizon Europe TITAN project were conducted in Seoul. Antonio Skarmeta from the University of Murcia, the TITAN Project Coordinator, led a series of high-level engagements designed to expand the project’s collaboration with leading Asian universities.

Expanding Global Academic Collaboration

A dedicated collaborative workshop was hosted in the South Korean capital to present the TITAN privacy-preserving data platform to prominent Asian academic institutions. This session focused on establishing concrete pathways for future joint research frameworks.

Following the workshop, participation in the IFIP WG8.6 meeting allowed for critical technical exchanges regarding TITAN’s “digital safes” and their utility in helping international research teams collaborate securely across data spaces.

Spotlighting TITAN at EBISION 2026

In parallel with these academic networking sessions, the project took the stage at the 2nd International Symposium on E-Business Information Systems Evolution (EBISION 2026):

• Main Keynote Speech: Antonio Skarmeta was featured as a main guest speaker, delivering a major keynote presentation to the entire conference. The talk detailed how TITAN’s confidential computing framework solves the persistent tension between open-science sharing and private data sovereignty.
• Scientific Paper Presentation: During Session 11B of the official program, a paper (“Data Spaces for Data Exchange across Different Sectors and Promoting Digitalization”) detailing the technical architecture and final inner workings of the TITAN platform was presented to international delegates.

These activities mark a major milestone for TITAN as the project enters its final phases, ensuring that its secure data federation software leaves a distinct, global legacy beyond the European research landscape.
