The SICP - Software Innovation Campus Paderborn invites you to this year's SICP Symposium on Tuesday, 24 September in Paderborn's Zukunftsmeile 2 in order to promote the exchange between science and business on the forward-looking topic of ‘data spaces’. The event will focus on the question of how a competitive data economy can be developed that safeguards digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe. Participation is free of charge. Registration is possible until Friday, 13 September. Further information and the registration link can be found on the event page.
The symposium consists of numerous presentations by experts as well as a panel discussion and interactive workshops. Among other things, it will address the questions of how data spaces influence the digital transformation of companies or what contribution the SICP makes to the topic with its multidisciplinary, socio-technical orientation. Prof. Dr Beate Flath, Professor of Event Management at the University of Paderborn, Ulrich Ahle, Chief Executive Officer of the Gaia-X European Association for Data and Cloud AISBL, Gerald Lobermeier, Programme Management Product Data for Customers at Phoenix Contact, and Prof. Dr Frank Köster, Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and Founding Director of the Institute for AI Safety at the German Aerospace Center (DLR), have already been confirmed as speakers.
Data rooms promote transparent networking
Data spaces are digital infrastructures that enable the self-determined sharing of data in accordance with European legal standards and in line with the EU's Data Governance Act. The aim is to create a culture of trust on the internet on this basis. The ‘Mobility Data Space’ initiated by acatech - National Academy of Science and Engineering serves as a reference model and catalyst for the development of data spaces. A number of promising projects are currently being developed, for example for archives. One flagship project that the SICP is helping to shape is the ‘Data Space Culture’, which was launched last year. The data room networks cultural institutions, the media and creative industries and IT research in order to create fair digital infrastructures that make it easier for those interested in and working in culture to access and reuse data.
