Asedie's new international conference on the re-use of public sector information

Asedie, the Multisectoral Information Association, is once again organising its International Conference on the Re-use of Public Sector Information. This year's edition, now in its fourteenth year, will be focused on the theme "Data Strategy in Europe and Spain".

The event aims to serve as a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences among all those involved in the information and data community, as well as to promote public-private collaboration for the benefit of the general interest.

When and where does it take place?

This is a face-to-face event. The event will take place on 17 November 2022 at the Colegio de Registradores (Calle Alcalá 540), in Madrid. The reception of attendees will start at 9:00h and the event will end at 13.40h.

What is the programme?

The focus of this edition will be on the Data Economy and the practical development of the Act on the Reuse of Public Sector Information. It will also address issues related to data, such as transparency, artificial intelligence, digitisation, geospatial information and personal data protection, among others. These topics will be addressed by leading experts in the field.

The session will open at 9:30 a.m. with a welcome from the Dean of CORPME, Ms. María Emilia Adán García, followed by the inauguration of the President of Asedie, Mr. Ignacio Jiménez.

The event will feature two round tables:

• The first will focus on "The Data Economy: rights, obligations, opportunities and barriers". Carlos Alonso, Director of the Data Office Division, will participate in it, together with representatives of the Ministry of Finance and Public Function, the Autonomous Community of Madrid and the Association of Registrars.
• The second round table, moderated by Emilio López, Director of the CNIG, is entitled "The potential of geospatial information as a high-value dataset", and will be attended by representatives of the European Commission, the National Statistics Institute, the General Directorate of Cadastre and the Autonomous Community of La Rioja.

During the day, there will also be presentations linked to the European Commission, such as that of Mr. Szymon Lewandowski, who will speak on data and innovation policies, and that of Martin Ulbrich on artificial intelligence. Leandro Cervera-Navas, Director of the European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS), will also participate.

In addition, as usual, the Asedie Award, now in its ninth edition, will be presented within the framework of the Conference. The purpose of this award is to recognise those individuals, companies or institutions that stand out for their contribution to the innovation and development of the infomediary sector in the current year.
