DECODE - Policy impact of data commons architecture and pilots implementation
The DECODE project aims to develop a decentralized data management platform that empowers citizens to control their personal data and share it for the public good. It involves four pilot projects in Barcelona, Amsterdam, and London, which tested the platform's architecture and implementation in real-world scenarios. It is expected to provide a set of recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders on how to promote data sovereignty, privacy, and democratic control in the digital age. It emphasizes the potential of decentralized technologies to enable more transparent, accountable, and participatory governance models, while highlighting the challenges and trade-offs involved in implementing such systems. Overall, the project contributes to advancing the debate on the future of data governance and the role of citizens in shaping it.
