Slides IDSA Ecosystem Building Call on Federated Learning Governance using Eclips Dataspace Components Connectors

On March 10, 2025, the IDSA organized a Ecosystem Building Call with Angela Mitrovska (Research Associate of the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI)) as a speaker on Federated Learning Governance using Eclips Dataspace Components Connectors. The Fraunhofer HHI is a leading research institute for mobile and fixed communications networks and for key applications in the world.

These IDSA Building Calls are open for IDSA-members only. Angela Mitrovska was happy to share the slides of her presentation with CoE-DSC.

Angela Mitrovska gave this background information:

Federated Learning is a privacy-preserving method for training machine learning models on sensitive data. However, its practical adoption is hindered by complex privacy regulations and the lack of governance mechanisms. We propose a governed Federated Learning framework using the Eclipse Dataspace Components Connector to enforce compliance and data sovereignty through policy enforcement. By training in-hospital mortality prediction and Alzheimer’s detection models, we show that the proposed framework maintains model performance while ensuring robust governance, making it a practical solution for privacy-sensitive applications.

The digital plant passport: exploring the potential of DPPs in agriculture

Commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LVVN) and carried out in collaboration with NVWA, TNO explored how DPPs could create value within the agricultural domain, using a digitalised plant passport as their first concrete DPP use case. Their proof of concept shows how plants could become digitally traceable through the entire supply chain.
