The EuroDaT project aims at creating a neutral, non-profit data trustee in accordance with the European Data Governance Act (DGA). The data trustee will be based on the federated data infrastructure provided by the Gaia-X initiative. It will enable reliable and secure exchange of data between private sector enterprises, public entities as well as research institutions and facilitate new ways of anonymous, independent data analysis. Thus, it will promote the development of innovative products and services as well as new data-driven business models based on AI techniques and big data.
Within the EuroDaT consortium the Centre Responsible Digitality (ZEVEDI) is in charge of the sub-project GovLegal and plays an important role with regard to the implementation of the data trustee, as it develops the necessary legal foundations in accordance with the DGA. Moreover, the participating scientists of the ZEVEDI network provide their expertise concerning the realisation of concrete, practice-related business use cases. In doing so, they closely cooperate with eleven partners from the public and the private sector: Atos, d-fine, Deloitte, German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main, Hessian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Energy, Transport and Housing, Institute of Legal Informatics of Universität des Saarlandes, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE, Lexemo, TechQuartier, T-Systems International.
ZEVEDI supports GovLegal with a supplemental ad hoc project which is supposed to analyse the conditions of success or failure of complex interdisciplinary cooperation between scientific, economic and political / administrative actors. On this basis it systematically identifies potential deficiencies and derives recommendations on how to improve collaboration within the EuroDaT consortium in general and within the sub-project GovLegal in particular.
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
