During this gathering, you'll have the opportunity to delve into the principles and practices of DSD, gaining insights from members of the International Network on Digital Self Determination, and representatives of the Torino Data Community. Together, we will explore strategies for responsible data management through the lens of DSD. In particular:

• Learn how DSD can be applied as a design principle for trustworthy data spaces


• Discover how to embed DSD in the design of data and digital systems, empowering individuals and communities to take control of their data destiny.


• Learn how to go beyond consent and embrace a social license approach; ensuring that data decisions are made collectively, benefiting both individuals and society at large.
