The interest of Antonella in the CSI-COP project is grounded in her daily practices of work. Being mostly carried out online, using a wide range of cloud-based services, international research and innovation activities represent a relevant case where a better understanding of what information is tracked online and a sound privacy protection in the collection of data are very important factors. Furthermore, the novel dimension of citizen science in this domain provides the opportunity to reflect on the future of the digital transformation, particularly nowadays, looking towards the digital life in the post COVID-19 crisis.
