Membership for Certifying Parties*
This membership is designed for organisations that wish to facilitate data exchange within iSHARE-based data spaces. Certifying Parties play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and trust within the iSHARE network. They are indirectly involved in the Council of Participants (CoP) and the Change Advisory Board (CAB) through their data spaces. As a Certifying Party, you will benefit from access to testing and experimentation facilities, awareness and promotional activities, and inclusion within the broader iSHARE network.
Membership for Data Spaces
Is your consortium or group of organisations ready to lead the future of data spaces and work on cutting-edge use cases? If so, this membership is for you. With minimal initial setup costs, you can start small and grow into a full member with significant impact. From the outset, you’ll have full access to our testing and experimentation facilities. Once your data space includes more than 50 consortia participants, you’ll gain direct involvement in the CoP and CAB, along with dedicated support in scaling your data space. Additionally, you’ll have opportunities to participate in awareness and promotional activities, elevating your data space’s role within the data-sharing community.
Membership as Implementation Partners*
