Mark your calendars for March 22, 2024 from 10:00 to 11:30 CET. Data.europa academy prepares to host an insightful panel discussion titled ‘Data sovereignty & data governance: how can data holders stay in control?’ The session will explore critical topics within the domain of data governance, with a focus on new institutional approaches for data sharing between organisations, including companies and public administrations.

This moderated panel discussion marks the start of a series of two webinars. The first one will delve into data sovereignty and governance. It will examine the legal framework introduced by the Data Governance Act and its implications for sustaining data sharing. Participants will explore the contrasts between the Data Governance Act and the Open Data Directive, with a specific focus on innovations introduced by the former, including broadened data availability and the introduction of a legal framework for data intermediary services. The second webinar will spotlight personal data management and individual data sovereignty, with a focus on data sharing by individual citizens.

The session will be interactive, with presentations and discussions covering the main features of these mechanisms, the anticipated benefits, and potential future challenges. It is an opportunity for policy makers, data sharing platform developers and data re-users to gain a deeper understanding of regulatory obligations, legal requirements, and the impact of new data sovereignty models. 

Register now to discover the complexities of data sovereignty and governance in the digital age. Do not miss this opportunity to learn from some of Europe's open data experts and deepen your knowledge of efficient data sovereignty and governance.
