PhD researcher Sustainable business models for different actors within emerging data spaces- PhD - Gent Zwijnaarde | Just now- We are looking for a researcher who is able to combine technical and economic insights and has a strong interest in data technology and the business potential it enables.-The Internet Technology & Data Science Lab (IDLab) is an imec research group at Ghent University and the University of Antwerp.

IDLab focuses its research on internet technologies and data science.

Bringing together more than 300 internet experts, we develop technologies outperforming current solutions for communication subsystems, high speed and low power networking, distributed computing and multimedia processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence and web semantics.

IDLab has a unique research infrastructure used in numerous national and international collaborations.


IDLab collaborates with many universities and research centers worldwide and jointly develops advanced technologies with industry (R&D centers from international companies, Flanders' top innovating large companies and SMEs, as well as numerous ambitious start-ups).

Sustainable business models for different actors within emerging data spaces.


The value of data is often purely linked to the value that large amounts of data brought with it (big data).

That data was often collected by so-called Big Tech companies (Google, Facebook,..), who maintain vertically integrated silos of data in order to gain a competitive advantage over industry peers.

The latter often depend on Big Tech to open up the data at a predetermined price.

In addition, the same data is very valuable for the Big Tech companies themselves and the advertisers to whom they sell advertising space.

Data spaces and personal data pod-based solutions make great promises about economic potential.

However, a lot of research is still needed to gain a good insight into what these technologies can effectively achieve.

The interaction with companies is important in order to gain insight into the current state of affairs and possible developments.
