Data Governance and Intellectual Property Governance in Common European Data Spaces

Project description

Data and IP governance in EU and Croatia’s health sector

Common European data spaces are crucial for the future of the European data economy. While they offer benefits, they also present challenges and risks. Therefore, researching appropriate governance frameworks is essential. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the DGIP-CEDS project will map and analyse legal definitions, rights, obligations, and frameworks related to data and intellectual property (IP) governance within common European data spaces. The project will identify legal sources and requirements for these spaces, with a particular focus on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). It will examine its national implementation in Croatia and the interests of various health stakeholders. Additionally, the project will develop legal solutions for data and IP governance in other sectors.

Objective

The development of common European data spaces is the bedrock of the future European data economy, which could bring huge benefits, but also poses significant challenges and risks. Hence, it is vital to perform research on how common European data spaces should be governed by appropriate rules. Data Governance and Intellectual Property Governance in Common European Data Spaces (DGIP-CEDS) aims to map, analyse and further develop legal definitions, rights and obligations, structures, procedures and related mechanisms to support the conceptualisation and operationalisation of (potentially reoccurring) data governance and related IP governance issues in common European data spaces. To achieve that, the project will: (1) map legal sources, principles, requirements and data space configurations that may define data governance and IP governance in common European data spaces; (2) analyse the legal operationalisation of data governance and IP governance requirements in the implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS), the first major sectoral data-sharing legislation (by focusing on the national implementation of the EHDS by public sector bodies in Croatia and on the rights/obligations and interests of various health stakeholders); and (3) develop legal solutions to support the conceptualisation of data governance and IP governance requirements in other common European data spaces (by considering developments in the energy, industrial-manufacturing, and smart city and communities data spaces and the rights/obligations and interests of relevant stakeholders). DGIP-CEDS intends to contribute to the development of common European data spaces with a suppletory legal focus to aggregate and transmit knowledge between data space developments that are taking place in silos. The fellow will be hosted by the University of Rijeka and will cooperate with the EC Joint Research Centre, public sector bodies, economic actors, non-profit organisations and data space experts.
