Objective
SYNTACTIC will deliver a European “one-stop-shop” platform that makes synthetic data reliable, compliant, and fit-for-purpose across sensitive, data-scarce domains. Anchored in Area 3 (advancing synthetic data generation and validation), and complementary to Areas 1 & 2 (data governance and infrastructure interoperability), the platform integrates five coherent toolboxes over a FAIR-by-design lifecycle: (i) Synthetic Data Generation with multi-modal, privacy-preserving GenAI, digital-twin augmentation, model unlearning, robustness and explainability; (ii) Regulatory Auditing & Management providing automated checks against GDPR, the AI Act and the Data Act, legal-to-technical translation, and auditable DPIA/FRIA workflows; (iii) Data Lifecycle Management with provenance, curation, versioning, annotation and benchmarking against real-world data; (iv) Cybersecurity enforcing zero-trust, threat intelligence and DevSecOps; (v) an Interoperability Gateway that connects securely and semantically to European Data Spaces and relevant initiatives (e.g., Regulatory Sandboxes, AI-on-Demand); and (vi) a dedicated Knowledge Hub providing guided workflows, training modules and best practices, boosting AI literacy and compliance awareness among European SMEs and professionals. SYNTACTIC will be designed, integrated and continuously in an agile methodology, validated through six pilots spanning telecommunications, maritime, Green Deal/industry compliance, finance, aerospace (IRIS²) and healthcare, demonstrating measurable gains in data quality and representativeness, bias mitigation, regulatory alignment and secure data-space interoperability.By coupling advanced generative modelling with compliance-by-design and EU-grade interoperability, SYNTACTIC will reduce the cost and time of compliance, increase access to high-quality synthetic datasets, and strengthen Europe’s data sovereignty and competitiveness in AI, with results that are reusable beyond the project lifetime.
