What is it about?
How can public sector data reuse be aligned with society's needs and desires? This paper proposes a legal analysis of the European Data Governance Act. It critically reflects on the new possibilities of data sharing while proposing a model of governance that would enable the (re)use of public sector data more aligned with social needs to ensure democratic governance of data-driven innovation.

Why is it important?
This paper encapsulates a proposal that contributes to building a more democratic vision of the shared (technological) future. Indeed, the undertaken analysis underlines that a significant degree of discretion is afforded to member states, allowing them to apply EU principles and establish specific conditions for data sharing. We consider this leeway as an opportunity to promote a regime of data sharing that is more responsive to social needs and gives back to society control over our technological future.
