TRUSTS

Privacy Preserving Technologies for Trusted Data Spaces
2020-10-01 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Vienna)
Our consortium member IDSA is on a mission to bring sovereignty and trust to data ecosystems while the Reference Architecture Model (IDS-RAM) is offering a framework to leverage more data in a trusted way.
But how could it be executed in highly constrained environments? What can the technology could offer when data cannot be moved or disclosed at all? What are the State-of-the-Art solutions that could meet the highest standards for the health sector or in the Industry when it comes to sensitive information?
Experts from the MUSKETEER project – “Machine learning to augment shared knowledge in federated privacy-preserving scenarios” – will present and discuss their efforts to bring more privacy preserving technologies to help this demand of trustworthiness in data sharing ecosystems.
MUSKETEER is developing an industrial data platform with scalable algorithms for federated and privacy-preserving machine learning techniques, detection and mitigation of adversarial attacks, and a rewarding model capable of fairly monetizing datasets according to the real data value.

Data Spaces Dialogue: Design Principles for European Data Spaces #2
2020-09-01 11:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Vienna)
International Data Spaces (IDS) is not a blank sheet but a vivid and strong initiative which already proved that it is ready to take responsibility for implementing the European Data Strategy and helping to create the European Data Space. IDSA is offering to contribute knowledge and technology to the envisaged high impact project on European data spaces, to provide data infrastructure services to the operations of the nine European data spaces through its support organization, to provide advisory, knowledge and expertise to the European Data Act, and to provide a community of practice and a network of hubs and collaborations to support knowledge sharing and build up of required skills in the data economy across Europe and beyond European borders.
In doing so, the implementation of the European Data Strategy will benefit from an established network of expertise, data spaces knowledge embodied in a mature reference architecture model, and ready to use software artefacts. This will speed up “time to market” of the strategy implementation. IDSA looks back on five years of paving the way for a fair data economy in Europe and globally and is ready to go.
IDSA and Open DEI aim to define common design principles for the implementation of European Data Spaces. To this end, IDSA together with the OPEN DEI consortium have launched several activities – such as this webinar – aimed at digital transformation projects and the OPEN DEI community to collaborate in defining the data spaces’ design principles.

33rd Bled eConference: Enabling technology for a sustainable society
2020-06-29
The Bled eConference has been shaping electronic interactions since 1988. Implementation of novel information technologies leads enterprises and governments towards digital transformation. Digital transformation will not be successful, if sustainable aspect of human and social development will not be considered. The European Commission emphasises that in the future, competitiveness will be dependent on the ability to move towards sustainability, resource-efficiency and the ability to exploit the advantages of digital technologies.
In the context of digital society, implementation of digital technologies and novel solutions to achieve higher efficiency, effectiveness and competitive advantage is insufficient. Society calls for different economy models; more responsible, righteous and less exploitative. Digital technologies should be used to implement and design business models, which will be sensitive for sustainable development in all aspects – economic, environmental and social (triple bottom line).
The 33rd Bled eConference “Enabling Technology for a Sustainable Society” will take place online this year.

Role of Data Innovation Spaces and Data Driven Innovation Hubs in the European digital transformation
2020-06-24 10:00 - 12:00 (Europe/Vienna)
The concept “Data Innovation Space” (BDVA i-Spaces) was first introduced in BDVA SRIA 2014, as a mechanism to foster data driven innovation in Europe at national and regional level. I-Spaces were conceived as environments for experimentation and innovation, bringing together not only technical aspects around data, but also advanced services that allow companies to test and exploit their data driven solutions and business models before going to the market.
During the past years, other instruments and concepts have arisen in Europe (Data Platforms, Competence Centers, Digital Innovation Hubs, …), most of them sharing with Data Innovation Spaces many aspects about how to bring data driven innovation closer to industry, and more specifically to small actors (SMEs, start-ups, …).
At the same time, the BDVA i-Spaces have evolved, aligning to some extent with some of these initiatives, widening their scope and fostering collaboration to exploit potential synergies. The last step on this roadmap is the future European federation of Data Driven Innovation Hubs, that will be created under the project EUHubs4Data (starting in September 2020) aimed at improving data driven innovation at regional level based on data sharing and federation of services at European scale.
During this workshop, we will discuss about the role that these Data Innovation Spaces (i-Spaces) will play in the new European landscape combining three different dimensions (DIHs and networks, European Common Data Spaces and Testing and Experimentation Facilities), and how EUHubs4Data project could act as a link between H2020 and the new Framework Programme in terms of data driven innovation.
Speakers:

Anne-Marie Sassen (EC DG CNECT A.2. Technology & Systems for Digitising Industry, Project Officer)
Kimmo Rossi (EC DG CNECT, G.1. Data Policy and innovation, Head of Research & Innovation)
Cécile Huet (EC DG CNECT, A.1. Robotics & AI, Deputy Head of Unit)
Reinhard Lafrenz (euRobotics, Secretary General, DIHNET & RODIN projects)
Daniel Sáez (ITI Strategic Intelligence & Technology Transfer Director , BDVA BoD, EUHubs4Data project)

Workshop:
The workshop will consist of an initial statement from each of the speakers (5-10 min), followed by a discussion panel based on the three mentioned dimensions of Data Innovation Spaces.

European Digital Innovation Hubs
European Common Data Spaces
Testing and Experimentation Facilities on AI

Online Plenary
2020-06-22 10:00 - 2020-06-23 18:00 (Europe/Vienna)
All TRUSTS consortium members meet physically in a plenary – across tasks and workpackages – every six months. The plenary in June will take place online due to the COVID-19-crisis.
This is an internal meeting.

Views on IDS: Industrial Marketplaces Based on Trust
2020-06-18 14:00 - 15:30 (Europe/Berlin)
Data marketplaces are discussed on many different levels and are in the focus of those who drive digitisation.
In order to get insights from different perspectives, the International Data Spaces Association (IDSA) invited three representatives of data marketplaces: A H2020 research project, funded by the European Commission, called MARKET 4.0, another research project, which is funded by the German ministry for economic affairs and energy – BMWi, called KI Marktplatz, and Advaneo as representative of the manufacturing industry side whose data marketplace is already a product available at the market.
The guests will share their insights on latest challenges and opportunities of marketplaces for data and algorithms. The IDSA as host of this session will bring in their ideas on how marketplaces will change over time due to the IDS standard for data sovereignty.
