The Global Sandboxes Forum is organized by the Datasphere Initiative to foster collaboration by empowering public and private actors, sharing experiences, and developing guidance to address digital age challenges and unlock the value of data for people and the planet.
The Global Sandboxes Forum brings together a community of practice to demonstrate the unique potential of sandboxes and foster the adoption of a more collaborative approach to address local and global challenges of the digital age.
It aims to empower public and private actors by sharing experiences, building capacity, developing evidence-based guidance on how to implement sandboxes, and catalyzing concrete initiatives at the local, national and regional levels to responsibly unlock the value of data for people and the planet.
Through online and physical events, the GSF brings together public authorities, private and civil society actors to share their experiences and understand their common challenges.
The GSF develops evidence-based research and tools, documenting successful implementations and best practices and providing capacity–building resources to empower stakeholders.
Fostering interactions, the GSF allows for the identification of concrete issues and the catalyzing of cooperation among the relevant stakeholders needed to address them.
We do this by connecting and amplifying voices from stakeholders from across sectors, conducting research on concrete data challenges and opportunities, experimenting with policy and technical data-sharing solutions and working with decision makers to enact change in data governance narratives, policies and strategies.
The GSF is a project led by the Datasphere Initiative together with a network of governments, companies, institutional partners and experts.
