EuDEco Forum for data reuse:
Rebooting the European data economy: A new paradigm for data reuse
19 October 2015, 14:30-18:30, Hotel Vila Gale Opera, Lisbon
Introduction
The EuDEco project was launched in February 2015 to support the development of the
European data economy. Funded by the EC Horizon 2020 programme, EuDEco assists
European science and industry in understanding and exploiting the potentials of data reuse in
the context of big data and open data. During its 3 year-duration, EuDEco aims to establish a
self-sustaining data market and thereby increase the competitiveness of Europe.
To be able to extract the benefits of data reuse, it is important to understand the underlying
economic, societal, legal, and technological framework conditions and challenges to build
useful applications and services. EuDEco will accomplish this by leveraging the engagement
of other projects conducting pilots on data reuse as well as by the engagement of external
experts and stakeholders. Consequently, a User Expert Group and an Advisory Board have
been created.

The workshop at a glance:
Companies, government bodies and academic institutions face the issue of finding the right
model for collecting, storing, curating and publishing data in a way that both allows largescale data reuse and is economically sustainable.
In this workshop, bringing together the EuDEco User Expert Group and Advisory Board members
with the EuDEco consortium, the first version of the EuDEco data economy model will be
presented. The model will be based on a multi-perspective analysis of framework conditions, a
series of case studies and the results of previous workshops.
The discussion will focus on the completeness and accuracy of the model with respect to the
challenges faced by European stakeholders. Moreover, particular attention will be paid to
approaches that have the potential to help address legal, socio-economic and technological
barriers limiting data reuse in Europe.
The participants will be able to:



Share their viewpoints on the data economy
Discuss opportunities and challenges
Provide feedback on solutions and recommendations

About Lisbon
Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and lies on the north bank of the Tagus Estuary, on the
European Atlantic coast. It is the westernmost city in continental Europe. Greater Lisboa has
an area of approximately 1,000 km2. The city lies more or less in the centre of the country,
approximately 300 km from the Algarve in the south and 400 km from the northern border
with Spain. Lisbon offers a wide variety of options to the visitor, including beaches,
countryside, mountains and areas of historical interest only a few kilometres away from the
city centre. Legend has it that Lisboa was founded by Ulysses. The name comes from
“Olissipo”, which has its origins in the Phoenician words “Allis Ubbo”, meaning “enchanting
port”. Most likely it was founded by the Phoenicians and styled by the Moores which shows in
the strong Arabic influences. It was, after all, ruled by the Moors for 450 years. In the 12th
century the Christians re conquered the city but it was not until the mid 13th century that
Lisboa became the country’s capital.
With the beginning of the Portuguese Age of Discoveries, Lisboa enriched as a spice and
jewellery trade centre. The breakthrough for Portuguese expansion came in 1498 when
Vasco da Gama discovered the sea route to India. This was indeed the beginning of a
golden age, characterised by the Manueline architectural style named after King Manuel I,
with its typical decorative use of maritime motifs. Over the centuries Lisboa naturally grew
and changed. When the city centre was almost completely destroyed by the earthquake of
1755, it was rebuilt by Marquise de Pombal, who thus created the Baixa Pombalina, a
commercial area that still retains much of its original lay out. Lisbon is a historic capital, a
potpourri of unusual character and charm, where 800 years of cultural influences mingle with
modern trends and life styles creating spectacular contrasts.1
