Legal and organisational aspects of data interoperability: climate adaptation case studies

Recorded: Thursday 16 October 2025
Presenters: Adrian Burton, Kelsey Drucken, Rebecca Farrington, Shaily Gandhi, Matti Heikkurinen, Michelle Heupel, Simon Hodson, Hamish Holeva, Hilde Orten, Pascal Perez, Tim Rawling, Mark Rehbein, Thanasis Sfetsos, Lesley Wyborn

DESCRIPTION
Building data-driven solutions to support climate change adaptation is inherently a cross-disciplinary and cross-organisational challenge. Legal compliance and organisational practices and assumptions will provide requirements and constraints for the technical solutions that can be deployed in the operational environments. This session will investigate these challenges and present an initial roadmap towards standardised legal and organisational agreement frameworks that can facilitate solving privacy, IPR and other compliance issues in a transparent and traceable manner.
