ShareCast

Data literacy is often presented in abstract terms and is characterized by warnings. Data protection, trade secrets, liability risks and vague ideas about the “value” of data dominate the discourse. There seem to be few alternatives between withholding data completely and sharing it too freely. But what about the targeted, controlled sharing of data by means of new forms of data intermediaries – such as data trustees?

This is where ShareCast comes in: a podcast that addresses the complex and abstract topic of data sharing and data trusteeship for a broad public.

The podcast offering of 13 episodes includes voices from science and professional contexts as well as everyday perspectives on the topic. The focus is on exemplary projects and initiatives that test new ways of sharing data and open up new scope for action. The entire range of existing data sharing activities will be presented and illustrated using various data trust projects, data domains and actor constellations as examples.

ShareCast is funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) and the European Union.
