An overview regarding research fields
The SwissAnon center is conducting methodological and practical research in the field of anonymization and related topics, such as synthetic data generation, disclosure risk assessment and record linkage. Here, all research activities associated with the competence center will be listed.
SNF Bridge Discovery Project
Nov 2023 – Oct 2027From 2023 to 2027, the SNF research project develops and improves anonymization techniques for longitudinal data, such as repeated measurements of individuals over time. This is especially relevant for diverse and sensitive datasets like COVID-19 tracking, health monitoring, or mobile traffic data. Addressing the challenge of how to securely make such longitudinal information available for research, the project aims to create a computational and methodological framework for anonymizing this data, and to evaluate the risks and benefits of these methods through complex simulation studies.
