Activities

		The Solid Protocol
		The Solid Protocol, developed by Tim Berners-Lee, is a decentralized web standard that allows users to store and control their personal data in secure, private data stores known as "Pods." This system empowers users to manage their data independently from applications, defining fine-grained access controls for who can view or use it. By utilizing decentralized data storage, users gain enhanced privacy, data portability, and reduced reliance on centralized platforms. Solid is built on open W3C standards and uses WebID for authentication and linked data technologies like RDF and OWL, allowing applications to interoperate and users to retain ownership and control of their data. The protocol aligns with Web 3.0 principles, enabling more secure, efficient, and user-centric interactions across the internet.

		Digital Flanders
		As the European Union aimed to become an attractive, secure, and dynamic data economy, the Government of Flanders was eager to become a central player in this new data infrastructure and a leader in secure data sharing, bolstering the Flemish economy and leading to new innovations.
