As part of EBDVF 2024, the session “Advancing Data Lifecycle Management: Tools and Strategies for Enhanced Monetisation,” organized by the EUData+ cluster, brought together project representatives and experts to explore tools and strategies for improving data lifecycle management and creating value in data spaces. This marked the second time the UPCAST project participated in EBDVF to present its contributions to the data-sharing and monetization ecosystem.
Prof. George Konstantinidis (University of Southamton, for UPCAST) presented a live demonstration of the UPCAST negotiation plugin, showcasing its capabilities in enabling secure, efficient, and fair data exchange. This practical example highlighted UPCAST’s role in advancing innovative solutions to support data monetization and lifecycle management.
The session also featured a panel discussion with representatives from Horizon Europe projects, including Jordi Arjona Aroca (DATAMITE), Sotiris Koussouris (PISTIS), Antonio Sottosanti (FAME), Radu Prodan (Graph-Massivizer), Ian Makgill (enRichMyData), and Daniel Alonso Román (BDVA/Data Spaces Support Centre). The panel addressed key topics such as identifying target users, the importance of interoperability standards, the challenges of platform development, and the role of data spaces in amplifying project outcomes.
This session provided a platform for UPCAST and other projects to share insights, fostering collaboration and contributing to the broader dialogue on enhancing data lifecycle management and monetization in Europe’s evolving data economy.
