About us
The European Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC-DEP) is an initiative stemming from the preparatory action for a Data Space for Sustainable and Smart Cities and Communities (DS4SSCC). DS4SSCC laid the groundwork for DS4SSCC-DEP, focusing on sustainability and community diversity. DS4SSCC developed a multi-stakeholder data governance scheme, a European blueprint, priority datasets, a roadmap, and implemented the data space across governance levels. DS4SSCC-DEP envisions a well-governed data space for developers and infrastructure providers, aligning with Europe's Digital Decade objectives. It recognizes data as a critical societal asset and aims to create a territorial, place-based data space for smart communities, distinguishing itself from sectorial data spaces. The project's key objectives are: · Establishing a Federated and Innovative Data Space: Creating a large-scale data space controlled by public data holders, aligning with the Smart Middleware Platform, and providing middleware service solutions for data sharing and management. Refinement based on experience is a priority. · Pilots and Refinement of the Data Space Blueprint: Conducting 10-12 cross-sector data pilots in EU communities to validate and refine the data space blueprint. Using common high-value datasets, the objective is to create added value by combining data from various domains and contributing to sustainability while minimizing infrastructure investment. · Fostering Innovation and Ecosystem Alignment: Engaging stakeholders, ensuring compliance with sector-specific legislation, linking with Horizon Europe missions, offering services via trusted application catalogues, and enhancing ethical considerations and AI-enabled local solutions. DS4SSCC-DEP aims to contribute significantly to European citizens' sustainability goals, emphasizing co-creation, standardization, business models, and envisioning a federated platform through established European networks.

🚀 Data Spaces Symposium 2025: Key Takeaways & Next Steps That’s a wrap on hashtag #DSS25 in Warsaw! 🎤✨ Over the past two days, we’ve seen how data spaces are shaping the digital future of Europe—but one message stood out loud and clear: 🌍 Collaboration is key. Our discussions centered on the ecosystem role of data spaces—not just as a technical solution, but as a strategic enabler across EU initiatives, projects, and stakeholders. The challenge ahead? Investing in understanding and disseminating this role so that data spaces become a real, scalable, and impactful force across domains. 🔍 Key themes from our Smart Cities & Communities session: ✅ The need for stronger alignment across European projects to drive data space adoption ✅ The role of EU strategy and governance in making data spaces operational ✅ The importance of interoperability & collaboration—breaking down silos across sectors ✅ How cities and local stakeholders can leverage data spaces for better citizen services 🚀 What’s next? The conversation doesn’t end here! The DS4SSCC community will continue working to scale and promote the adoption of data spaces for smart communities. This means: 🔹 Strengthening connections between EU initiatives 🔹 Expanding awareness of data spaces across public & private sectors 🔹 Building practical, real-world use cases A huge thank you to all partners, speakers (Clara Pezuela, Nuria De Lama, Sille Sepp, Tomaz Lanisek, Karl-Filip Coenegrachts, Jordi Ortuño Ribé, Elena Mengual Mesa Dessislava Petrova-Antonova, Sophie Meszaros ) and attendees for the insightful discussions!
