In Leuven (Belgium), KU Leuven University and CITIP, its research center of the Faculty of Law and Criminology organized a 2 days’ workshop Data Market in Europe: New trajectories in law, technology and governance, to present UPCAST project as it provided a valuable ‘testing ground’ to explore data sharing development and personal data protection challenges.
The workshop brought together scholars and experts to explore legal, regulatory and policy challenges emerging from the evolving data economy.
As Data are indeed conceived of as the necessary resource to fuel data-driven innovation and especially artificial intelligence (AI), many industries and public administrations seek to digitize – and thereby enhance – their activities and to take an active role in the data economy.
The workshop focused on several aspects of legislative, financial and policy EU approaches and activities, considering that data sharing requires new business ecosystems, various types of intermediaries involved and new technologies adoption and raise many issues about security, availability and trustability of the data.
Dedicated Panels:
- Data Sharing and (Smart) Contracts.
- The Legal Construction of Data Markets: Compatible with Personal Data Protection?
- The EU as a Data Maker: Between Proactive Regulation and Aspirational Governance
- SRB v. EDPS: Reassessing the Role of Pseudonymization in Data Sharing?
