On 3 September 2026, the Dutch Cloud Community (DCC) and eco – Association of the Internet Industry invite you to a unique, members-only, in‑person Dutch‑German exchange on tackling online abuse.

This joint working group meeting brings together leading experts from industry, law enforcement, academia, and policy to bridge gaps, share proven approaches, and accelerate cross-border collaboration. From prevention and mitigation projects to real-world case studies and policy initiatives, participants will gain valuable insights into how both ecosystems are addressing abuse—and where collaboration can make the difference.

• Explore cutting-edge tools and frameworks in abuse prevention and mitigation
