Policy Question(s)

Why and how to build, achieve and sustain trustworthy and accountable data, information and knowledge sharing ecosystems in this Digital Age, to help address local, regional, national and global societal challenges while aiming to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals?
 
From the risk perspectives: How to avoid these digital, cyber or cyber-physical deployments and use thereof become a foe? How to avoid it increasing mistrust, or creating other detrimental effects?

Connection with previous Messages: This Workshop is aimed to support all 17 SDGs and its respective targets, and it many – intertwined – cluster of SDGs and targets. Obviously, SDG 17 linked to SDG 16 are the baseline enablers for this Workshop about trust and accountability, where all 17 provide for global, collective inspiration, ambition and focus.

Description:

Accountable Data Sharing to achieve SDGs. Enough Trust to Start Sharing?
 
Description:
 
Why & how to build, achieve and sustain trusted data sharing ecosystems in this Digital Age?
 
Whether it concerns data, structured data (information), combined sets of structured data (knowledge) or used or otherwise deployed data, information and knowledge (experience), these are not – yet – equally available, equally provided, equally received or equally shared. This for once does not enabler, facilitate, augment or cater for the update of SDGs. To what extent can digital ecosystems and related governance tools help? What are the benefits? And what are the downsides?
 
In this Workshop, we will dive into these topics, touching the ‘why’ but mostly focusing on the ‘how’. To share or not to share, is the trust question. For instance, why and how do we trust experience, knowledge, information and other data, offline and/or online? Where and how can digital technology, organisational, policy and other governance capabilities lend a helping hand, while aiming to build, achieve a sustain trusted data sharing in this Digital Age, to achieve SDGs?
 
With the help of experts in this domain from different sectors and continents, and with different perspectives, this Workshop is managed, moderated and loaded, to spur the discussion with the audience, and focus on and achieve outcomes.

Expected Outcomes

Jointly identifying and co-creating examples, good practices and tooling that truly help with the ability to achieve the dynamic and contextual appropriate level of trust in information, trust in sharing, trust in digital assets, trust in one’s own competences, trust in organisations and community involved, trust in digital devices, systems, services, and trust in the digital and cyber-physical ecosystems at large?
 
The right level of trust both brings the courage, confidence and comfort to engage, share, collaborate and achieve the SDGs.
 
The validation question will be: Is there enough trust to start sharing?
