Data spaces are defined by the Data Space Support Centre (DSSC), as infrastructures that enable data transactions between different data ecosystem parties based on a governance framework. They hold immense potential for sharing large pools of data and developing data-driven services in key sectors. The webinar showcased real-world use-cases from projects focusing on sustainable mobility, energy flow management, pollution, and tourism, providing valuable insights into effective governance guidelines for data spaces.
