Responsible Data Sharing in Smart Cities: Boosting Transport and Logistics
A smart city enhances traditional networks and services through digital solutions, benefiting both its inhabitants and businesses. Digitalization is also a key driver in modernizing transport and logistics, making them more seamless and efficient. This is recognized by EU policies such as the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy, which emphasizes the importance of data sharing for achieving freight greening and sustainable urban mobility.
However, data sharing presents challenges regarding how, who, and when to share data. Various stakeholders, including cities, service providers, and receivers, have different interests in data sharing. For instance, cities may prioritize information on transport and logistics flows to manage local traffic, while package receivers might be more concerned with whether their packages are delivered using green transportation methods. The diverse interests of stakeholders necessitate effective, ethical, and legal data sharing practices that also address privacy concerns.
Our seminar on December 6, 2024, is timely, as the beginning of December marks the start of the gifting season, leading to peak logistics and mobility activities. This meeting will explore responsible data sharing for transport and logistics from multiple perspectives, examining how various scientific disciplines approach the issue and how multidisciplinary research can facilitate the travels of modern-day Santas.
The event will be held at the Law Faculty of Maastricht University, with an online option available for those unable to attend in person. We warmly invite policymakers, logistics providers, city authorities, researchers, and all other interested parties to join us.
The event is founded by The Digital Legal Lab (a joint research network between Tilburg University, the University of Amsterdam, Radboud University and Maastricht University), Universiteitsfonds Limburg (SWOL) and Maastricht Faculty of Law.
