European Data Space – Connecting Data Ecosystems (Workshop 3.1)

SESSION DESCRIPTION & OBJECTIVES 

• Distinguish between Data Spaces, Data Platforms and more refined concepts like Data Markets.
• Bring key persons and experts from industrial and academic initiatives providing data platforms together with stakeholders that will benefit from the establishment of a European Data Space (data producers, consumers) and interoperable platforms that can raise the value of its data.
• Present an overview of existing conceptual and effective intra-organisational data platform setups and identify bottlenecks to their European-wide scaling and use.
• Explore parallels to the set-up of data platforms that can handle personal data and identify risks, possibilities and legal terms for their potential contribution to a European Data Space.
• Foster networking activities and identify possible collaborations for upcoming H2020 calls (e.g., ICT-13-2018-2019, DT-ICT-07-2018-2019).

TARGET AUDIENCE

• Experts (Academia; Industry) in data management and sharing, data privacy, security and legal matters, data exchange and data markets, related standardization and application.
• Data producers and consumers (large industry/SMEs); private users (personal data).
• Data Space and Platform solution providers and representatives from related projects and initiatives.
