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.

It's paramount that the developments around #dataspaces would actually lead to some concrete benefits to citizens and organisations, as well as the society and environment at large. Hence, we're making sure to also measure the impact of the upcoming pilots of the European Data Space for Smart Communities in a number of areas and levels. Kudos to Nuria De Lama for providing a great overview of the Impact Assessment framework today at the #EBDVF2024 👏 We're excited to put it in action very soon!
