Data spaces super week in Helsinki

May 30, 2023 at 12:00 am - June 1, 2023 at 12:00 am

The super week’s happenings will kick off with the Gaia-X Hub coordinators meeting in Helsinki on 25–26 May to exchange learnings and revisit our strategies for the European roll-out of Gaia-X compliance. The event is being hosted by Sitra, the coordinator of Finland’s Gaia-X network.

The Gaia-X Hub meeting will be followed by the Data Spaces Support Centre project’s plenary meeting and the MyData Conference during the following week, from 30 May to 1 June. These will give us important opportunities to network and align our activities with the other stakeholders developing the European data space.
