From data interoperability to data spaces in the aquaculture domain

FROM DATA INTEROPERABILITY TO DATA SPACES IN THE AQUACULTURE DOMAIN ONLINE WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 28TH 2023

This joint workshop from H2020 projects ASTRAL & iFishIENCi which ran on 28th February 2023 discussed the relevance of data space for the aquaculture domain.

Data spaces bring together relevant data infrastructures and governance frameworks in order to facilitate data pooling and sharing to ultimately harness the value of data for the benefit of the European economy and society.

Aquaculture is among the fastest growing food production systems in the world and is strongly anchored in the blue-green economy. Interoperability and trust of data exchanges between the involved stakeholders across the complete aquaculture lifecycle is expected to boost the potential value of data for all the involved stakeholders. While technical solutions exist, they need to be made explicit and at the same time, governance rules for stakeholders’ involvement need to be discussed.

Several on-going initiatives are presented, and a panel discussion explored the paths toward creation of an EU dataspace for aquaculture.
