Content:
- Challenges affecting the use and re-use of public and private sector environmental data
- Bottlenecks that prevent use cases from scaling up: looking into support mechanisms (piloting, experimentation, knowledge exchange) as well as capacity building (funding, skills, etc.) that can scale data-driven innovation
- Digital infrastructure and technological enablers: a toolbox of digital enablers and building blocks to support the Green Deal Data Space
- Key benefits of joining the GDDS: incentives and disincentives for data sharing, business model(s) and the long-term sustainability of the Green Deal Data Space
- Organisational aspects: roles and responsibilities, including the role of the public and private sector both data provider and potential user and their interaction
The Staff Working Document on common European data spaces indicates that a data space shall:
(i) deploy data-sharing tools and services for the pooling, processing and sharing of data by an open number of organisations;
(ii) include data governance structures, compatible with relevant EU legislation and
(iii) improve the availability, quality and interoperability of data – both in domain-specific settings and across sectors.
As part of the stakeholder consultation activities related to the Green Deal Data Space (GDDS), a series of three online workshops ((i) The Green Deal Data Space for AI;(ii) Last mile digital applications for a greener future, and (iii) Data-driven innovation for supply chains and eco-friendly design demonstrated the value of the availability, quality and interoperability of data through inspiring use cases.
This workshop will draw on the learnings from the stakeholder consultations and identify the problems affecting the use and re-use of environmental data, the bottlenecks that affect the scaling up of use cases, the appropriate enablers and building blocks to support the Green Deal Data Space operation and the principles underpinning its future governance model.
