You can find the texts attached here and on the reading group folder on SURF drive. Tried to suggest texts from my research background - one from critical policy studies and another by an Indian scholar on Aadhaar. Hope you find them engaging.

I decided to go for two 15-page ones. The one by Leese explains interoperability and biometrics in the EU well and the one by Bellanova gives an interesting angle for approaching sovereignty when it comes to technological infrastructures in the EU case. All the best, Matteo From: Core on behalf of Sruthi Vanguri via Core Date: Monday, 13 July 2026 at 13:16 To: Core Datagov Subject: [DATAGOV Core] DATAGOV Reading Group Dear all, Apologies for the confusion. Let?s please use this email thread to share texts or updates on reading group, so we can keep track. For tomorrow?s meeting, in case you have missed the texts on Signal, Carina has recommended the attached text. You can find our meeting schedule and the assigned texts on the ?Reading Group? folder on SURF. There seems to be some confusion about sharing access to SURF files, so please let me know if can?t see it on your SURFdrive. Thank you!

I am back to work (from home) today and will let you know in case I have to go on leave again. I propose that we kick off our reading group meetings from the second one i.e., July 28. Given that we have two weeks, would anyone like to start this off by recommending two readings to the group? I remember Stefi is on leave, I am not sure who else is.

Following Jonas? s suggestion, would you like to suggest readings to the team and get this started? I will turn to each member of the team in the coming weeks to do the same for the next ones. Will create a reading group folder on SURF. Best regards, Sruthi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Hi team, We?re preparing the DATAGOV intervention at EASST. It?s going very well, I?m getting excited. I was notified that we need to use the computer of the room, not our own. So I need a good USB stick to collect presentations. Can I get one on DATAGOV costs, like this: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/SSK-Stick-Memory-USB-C It?s under 15e and it has a USB-C and -A side, so it?s convenient for us Mac users. Please apologies me using Amazon, I hope you can still respect me as a colleague. By the way, you can find the scripts, abstracts, questions etc. in the shared folder https://uva.works.surf.nl/f/6992039 Do feel free to comment on anything. Thanks Jonas ?????

Thanks for engaging with the texts! Following our discussion today, wanted to ask everyone in the team if we can find a meeting slot that works for us in the next week (before Carina & Jonas head to EASST and I go on personal leave for a week) to select our monthly meeting dates. It would be super useful to have our (half) day long meeting schedule fixed from September to December. Also important that we can find a time to discuss our field work ideas, few standardised questions, interview tagging scheme and timelines etc. Since we begin our weekly Tuesday meetings in the morning from next week, could we perhaps an extended meeting on say, 1 September 9.30-11 am, to find our meeting slots and other things? (Thanks Matteo for the suggestion). What do you think? Best regards, Sruthi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some data security items to be discussed and scheduled: * Before the meeting, it would be great if we could all read the data security workflow document Stefania sent out a couple of months ago (and attached to this email). * If possible, getting started on Step 3 (individual modeling) before the meeting would be super helpful, too. * Let's assign tasks and set new deadlines during next week's meeting. Thank you for your help!

I am writing to check in with you and the rest of the team. 1. Thank you for the feedback! I found the document with the comments in the shared folder. I see that I have feedback from you and Carina. Let me know if I should wait for any additional comments from the rest of the team or if I can start implementing the changes. 2. I see that I am still missing some of the information (e.g. methodology, team member pictures and bios). Would it be possible to have those ready by the 7th of September? This would give me enough time to incorporate all the info by the end of the month. 3. We could then schedule a final check-in around the week of the 14th to discuss the last details and any additional feedback before starting to transfer everything online. If this sounds good, let me know which dates would work for you for the meeting! Looking forward to hearing from you!
