On FRIDAY, 6 OCTOBER 2023 FROM 10.00 TO 11.30 CET, the data.europa
academy [https://data.europa.eu/en/academy] hosted the webinar
‘Data spaces: Discovering the building blocks’. This third webinar
in the series presented the operational and technical building blocks
for data spaces. 

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
[https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/priorities-2019-2024/europe-fit-digital-age/european-data-strategy_en].

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9U-eKVtspA&pp=ygUfZGF0YSBzcGFjZXMgZGF0YSBldXJvcGEgYWNhZGVteQ%3D%3D], took
place on 12 May and introduced the concept of data spaces and the
policy and legal framework behind it. The second webinar, on 15
September, provided concrete examples of 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. 

This third webinar focused on an overview of the building blocks for
data spaces. It delved into the technical components of data spaces,
sharing insights on the various strategic data spaces, what is
necessary for success, and how this compares to a portal. The session
included a discussion on the key building blocks necessary for data
spaces and how these can unleash the potential they offer along with
their set up from a technical and semantical point of view. Finally,
a Q&A session was held, offering participants the opportunity to ask
questions to the experts on data spaces. Here topics such as the data
spaces blueprint with organisation, business, and technical building
blocks were discussed. Furthermore, an academic perspective,
specifically research challenges with data spaces were explored.
Finally, various SEMIC specifications, services, and trainings in
support of data spaces were shared with the participants.
