Questions to be answered

What are the most important applications for Data Spaces in Mobility, Industrial and Healthcare and which are the main technological challenges that need to be addressed in this scope?
What are the most important technological AI challenges that need to be overcome to promote Data Spaces usage within the three domains of PLIADES?
How can Data Spaces assist both AI technology developers, robot providers and end-users in real-world applications and what are the expected benefits?

Description

The aim of this workshop is to highlight the potential benefits of Data Spaces for the development of AI and robotic applications in the Mobility, Industrial and Healthcare domains, on the basis of R&D activities that are performed by the ongoing Horizon Europe PLIADES project. After a brief description of the project’s activities, key aspects within the topic of Data Space integration will be addressed, including the benefits and the challenges of using Data Spaces in the three domains, along with the technological challenges raised by AI. Along with end-users of these domains, technological developers and the workshop audience, the latest advances and market possibilities will be discussed.

Organisation of the WS

The workshop will comprise two parts. The first will include a series of speeches, focusing on recent research efforts funded by the EC, such as the PLIADES project, as well as speeches from the industry, focusing on the end-user view on Data Spaces for the Mobility, Industrial and Healthcare domains. The second, interactive part, will include a panel discussion, as well as feedback rounds with attendees, elaborating further on the key questions and aims of the workshop.
