“…Not all da-ta-related problems are best solved 'in common' , and it would be a shame if the commons are transformed into the bandaids burdened with the task of fixing public regulation for which others are responsible (cf. Mazzucato, 2023).…”

Data commons is an often-used but also ambiguous notion, and aspires to connect the complex notion of 'data' with that of the ' commons' -a concept with an equally variable and contested meaning. This entry collects and connects several recent contributions to discussions on data commons as a means to foreground several important community-related themes. We take this discursive move to be important because the adjective 'data' has the tendency to transform social, communal, and political problems into technological ones that result in confusions between means and ends that endanger the viability of the commons. We discuss four themes that help to re-prioritise community-related interests and problems over their technological solutions. We discuss a data commons relationship to itself (1), its relationship to other commons (2), to capitalism (3), and sustainability (4). We structure the literature on data commons to contextualise, historicise, and politicise data commons, and ultimately understand them as ways of living together (with data) rather than as instruments to manage data.

The remarkable achievements made in medical science during and after COVID-19 offer an unprecedented opportunity for transformative change to improve population health-subject to equitable global access.• Equitable access to novel medical technologies will require i) a suitable global political compact reconsidering power relationships between the Global North and the Global South, ii) an end-to-end architecture for adoption, iii) a research and development paradigm directed to the common good, and iv) strengthened health service delivery capacity.

The World Health Organization (WHO) set up the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) technology transfer programme in June 2021 with a development hub in South Africa and 15 partner vaccine producers in middle-income countries. The goal was to support the sustainable development of and access to life-saving vaccines for people in these countries as a means to enhance epidemic preparedness and global public health. This initiative aims to build resilience and strengthen local vaccine research, and development and manufacturing capacity in different regions of the world, especially those areas that could not access coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines in a timely way. This paper outlines the current global vaccine market and summarizes the findings of a case study on the mRNA technology transfer programme conducted from November 2022 to May 2023. The study was guided by the vision of the WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All to build an economy for health using its four work streams of value, finance, innovation and capacity. Based on the findings of the study, we offer a mission-oriented policy framework to support the mRNA technology transfer programme as a pilot for transformative change towards an ecosystem for health innovation for the common good. Parts of this vision have already been incorporated into the governance of the mRNA technology transfer programme, while other aspects, especially the common good approach, still need to be applied to achieve the goals of the programme.
