As part of the INSIEME project, smartEn is organising a series of online roundtables — open webinars designed to bring together project partners and external industry stakeholders to discuss key topics shaping the future of flexibility, energy data, and digitalisation in the energy sector. These sessions are fully public and accessible to anyone interested in joining
the conversation.
Under the theme “CEEDS Governance: What rules do stakeholders need?”, this session examines the legal, organisational and security frameworks needed to make cross-border energy-data sharing clear, fair, resilient and trustworthy. Because CEEDS is being built as a federated network of interconnected national and regional nodes, governance must answer not only “who may use which data, under what rules” but also “who is accountable for protecting it, and how is trust maintained across borders and operators.”
