Regional and local data-driven innovation through collective intelligence and sandboxing: Validation Workshop

What role can sandboxing approaches and methodologies play in building effective local and regional data ecosystems? 

This is the question that OASC, along with a consortium of partners and European cities, has been exploring as part of the JRC ELISE Project “Regional and local data-driven innovation through collective intelligence and sandboxing”.

The project aims to address how “sandboxing” approaches can contribute to the development of local data ecosystems, and address key urban challenges related to mobility, energy, and housing.  Here, “sandboxing” refers to testing solutions in a safe environment, with a focus on institutional and technical innovations to enable more efficient and effective delivery of public services through data sharing and reuse.

The project team is now finalizing and synthesizing the results from the sandboxing experiments in the cities of Barcelona, Helsinki, Milan and Poznan.   

We are keen to learn from the experience of other European cities and their stakeholders in using sandboxing to improve data-driven innovation, to help validate and build on the results of our work.

To do this, we have launched a short survey which will only take 10-15min to complete and is open to all stakeholders with experience with sandboxing methodologies and projects:  https://s.chkmkt.com/?e=264134&d=e&h=408E0AD10C5AED4&l=en

We are also hosting a workshop on April 28 to present and validate the findings. We invite all stakeholders interested in shaping data ecosystem to participate in the session.
