UPCAST | Data Integration and Privacy Systems Lab

UPCAST provides a set of universal, trustworthy, transparent, and user-friendly data market plugins for the automation of data sharing and processing agreements between businesses, public administrations and citizens.

The UPCAST plugins enable actors in common European data spaces to design and deploy data exchange and trading operations, guaranteeing:

automatic negotiation of agreement terms,
dynamic fair pricing,
improved data-asset discovery,
privacy and confidentiality requirements,
a low environmental footprint, and
compliance with relevant legislation and ethical guidelines.

Our group’s work in UPCAST centres on the automated negotiation and contracting of data sharing agreements (Yumusak et al., 2024) and on modular data marketplace architectures (Gheisari et al., 2024; Konstantinidis et al., 2023).

UPCAST is funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101093216, bringing together 16 partners from 9 countries.
