We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming webinar hosted by CitizenCity, a European pilot project under the European Data Spaces for Smart Communities initiative!

As data spaces continue to emerge as a key enabler of data sharing and innovation across Europe, organisations face growing challenges in navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape. Legal obligations, governance structures, and compliance responsibilities are often shaped by the technical and organisational choices made when designing and operating a data space.

During the webinar, "How Can Data Spaces Navigate Legal Complexity Through Compliance by Design?", you will explore how legal frameworks can be considered as an integral part of data space design rather than an afterthought. The session will provide insights into the European data ecosystem, the regulatory landscape surrounding data spaces, and practical approaches to privacy and data protection through compliance by design.

What to expect

In this one-hour session, you will gain insights into:

• The European Strategy for Data and the role of the European Data Space for Smart Communities ecosystem
• The regulatory landscape applicable to data spaces and the challenges of navigating multiple legal frameworks
• How technical and organisational design choices influence legal responsibilities and compliance obligations
• Privacy, personal data protection, and practical approaches to compliance by design, illustrated through GDPR-related examples

Speakers

  Colette Cuijpers – Professor of Applied Sciences in Law at the Juridische Hogeschool Avans - Fontys
