The event was organised by Re-Imagine Europa to promote research carried out within the SoBigData++ consortium, with a particular focus on the recently published white paper “Towards a Digital Ecosystem of Trust: Ethical, Legal and Societal Implications”. The paper discusses the methods for promoting data sharing, building privacy-preserving technologies, and fostering data decentralisation and data altruism to develop a model for responsible digital innovation in Europe and beyond.
The session was moderated by RIE’s Media Research Director Luca De Biase
