Workshop (EN): The agricultural data space - next level in data sharing?

04.04.2023

Data-driven innovations are transforming the economy, including the agri-food sector. Hence, this transformation is affecting you as an actor of the sector. Europe aims to fasten and broaden this transformation in an inclusive and responsible manner across the EU through numerous actions, for example the concept of data spaces, EU cloud infrastructure, new legislation regulating the data economy.

To discuss what is happening at a European level, how this will affect you as an agri-food actor and collect your experiences and input, we organise a workshop on the 4th of April in Brussels. The workshop is organised in the framework of the projects AgriDataSpace and Desira.

The workshop will be held in English, but discussions can be facilitated in French and Dutch.

More info about the project

The main objective of the AgriDataSpace project is to pave the way for a European Agriculture Data Space that facilitates data sharing, processing and analysis in a secured, trusted, transparent and responsible manner to create new opportunities for monitoring and optimising natural resource use and stimulating data-driven innovations.

Desira aims to improve the capacity of society to respond to the challenges and opportunities of digitalisation in rural areas. Through a network of 20 Living Labs in the European rural areas, the project is assessing the past, current and future socio-economic impacts of ICT-related innovation.
