# **for an Online Residency on data policy and cross-sector collaboration in the EU **
**We are looking for... **
● Data experts from science and tech ● Artists dealing with the topic of data
from all over the EU
interested in an interdisciplinary exchange on the topic "Data and new collaboration processes between politics, civil society, science and business".
**We are... **
... [Polis180](https://polis180.org/), a grassroots think tank that translates scientific findings for political decision makers. We contribute ideas, analyses and solutions of our generation to the political discourse through innovative, participatory and inclusive approaches.
**We want... **
... to strengthen social self-determination in the process of digitization by involving various perspectives in the reflection on and development of data-driven solutions and technical products. During the WirVsVirus Hackathon, Germany has presented a first impressive example of how to involve the general population. A culture of cooperation such as the Data Collectives in Taiwan, for example, could also offer an alternative for the EU to current surveillance capitalism and our future handling of data.
**We initiate... **
... an online residency, in which 3-5 tandems of data experts and artists work together on a question concerning the handling of data in the EU. The tandems receive a fee for their participation.
The tandems are free to choose the following or other perspectives:
● Analysis of the Status Quo
● Concrete perspectives for action
● Key challenges
● Visions for the future (concrete solutions or forms of collaboration etc.)
● Forms of mediation to sensitize the general population to the topic
*Procedure and results *
Over a period of three weeks (7-30 Nov), the tandems will exchange thoughts and ideas publicly on the channels of Polis180 and will receive thematic input on current data strategies in the EU or best practice examples at three online meetings. All tandems will each produce a white paper, which they will present at the final online event in early December. The form of the whitepaper is up to the participants - essays, action guidelines or even visual presentations are possible. In a small creative contribution (digital or physical), the tandems have the opportunity to manifest their thoughts in a sensually experienceable format. All whitepapers will be documented together with the previous online exchange on the Polis180 website.
**If you are interested in participating, … **
