GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

The action will engage the community of stakeholders involving at least associations acting at EU/multi-country level representing relevant stakeholders, and public administration and/or governmental bodies. The community of stakeholders is to involve farmers, machinery suppliers, and possibly other agri-business branches and farms advisors, and representatives from the ICT industry.

The project will:

• Undertake an inventory of existing platforms sharing agricultural data,
• Take stock of experience gained with the above-mentioned Code of Conduct,
• Take stock of experiences gained with other types of data sharing as well as with data (set) generation in the private and public domains,
• Explore different possible design approaches for the data space(e.g. serving private data sharing and interests, serving private data sharing interests complemented by public data, serving private and public interests), and elaborate the advantages and disadvantages,
• Propose design/conceptual approaches, for the set-up of the data space, identify common essential elements and develop corresponding business models,
• Develop a multi-stakeholder governance scheme of the data space,
• Get broad consensus on the approach, governance, and business models.
• Develop a roadmap for the step-wise deployment of data space, including the identification of public and private data sets which are expected to particularly contribute to the objectives of the data space

Targeted stakeholders: suppliers and users mainly represented by their associations, leading research institutes, and organisation with legal expertise and key competences in agriculture, economics, data and cloud technologies.
