Task / problem definition
In order to create a secure, sovereign data infrastructure in Europe for the state, the citizens as well as for companies and institutions, data silos and lacking standards have to be overcome and transparency has to be established. The project “Possible: Phoenix open software stack for interoperable engagement in dataspaces”, one of 11 research projects supported by the German Federal Network Agency over three years in the Gaia-X funding competition, is contributing to this endeavor.
Within the framework of Gaia-X, representatives from industry, science and the public sector are developing a proposal for shaping the next generation of a federated European data infrastructure with the support of politicians and the involvement of other European partners. The goal is to create a secure and connected data infrastructure that meets the highest standards of digital sovereignty and promotes innovation. In an open and transparent digital ecosystem, data and services are to be made accessible, composed and shared in a trustworthy manner.
