Workshop No.5 - Sustainable models for FAIR and open low carbon energy research data: Business models, licensing and certification

3-5th of October 2022 EERA Premises, Brussels, Belgium

The EERAdata project is pleased to announce its Workshop No. 5 organised as a hybrid meeting and hosted by the Izmir University of Economics SENLAB [1] and by the European Energy Research Alliance [2] (EERA). The event is conceived as a hands-on workshop and discussion complemented with external inputs given by invited contributors.

Objectives

• Objective 1: Understand the value involved in FAIR and Open data and the potential data services that could be derived from energy research data
• Objective 2: Discuss pathways and business models for creating value from energy data
• Objective 3: Identify how trustworthiness and provenance of data can be guaranteed through appropriate certification and licensing

Main Questions

Main questions that we are seeking to answer during the workshop are as below:

• What is the value involved in FAIR and Open data for different types of users (e.g., industries, researchers, policy makers, consumers)?
• What services can be derived utilizing FAIR and Open data in the energy domain?
• What types of business models can be designed and implemented for creating value from energy data?
• How can certification and licensing contribute to trustworthiness and provenance of data (in the context of sustainable business models using data)?
