Learn about the key highlights of the webinar ‘Data spaces: Experiences from strategic data spaces’

On Friday, 15 September 2023 from 10.00 to 11.30 CET, the data.europa academy hosted the webinar ‘Data spaces: Experiences from strategic data spaces’. This second webinar in the data spaces series presented the state of play and requirements of two strategic data spaces: the Health data space and the Cultural Heritage data space.

With the goal of harnessing the value of data for the benefit of the European economy and society, the European Commission actively supports the development of common European data spaces in ten strategic fields as outlined in the European data strategy. The first webinar ‘Data spaces: Introducing the concept and relevance in today’s world’ took place on 12 May and introduced the concept of data spaces and the policy and legal framework behind it.

In this second webinar, concrete examples were provided for both the Health and Cultural Heritage data spaces. Two experts shed light on how these spaces contribute to the European data strategy and provided insights into their future. The session included a discussion on the similarities and differences between the common European data spaces in various strategic fields.

To conclude, participants had the opportunity to ask their questions to the two experts in a Q&A session. Topics such as governance within the data spaces, interoperability and the involvement of various stakeholders in building these data spaces were discussed.

Stay tuned for our third webinar in this series, titled ‘Data spaces: Discovering the building blocks’, which will highlight the requirements and state of play of various data spaces.
