This paper provides an account of the challenges and potentialities of a solidarity-sustained approach to data access and governance. To do that, it offers an infraethical understanding of solidarity that describes it as a structural moral enabler able to sustain collective action and risk taking. The paper ends with a brief reference to health data access as a possible case study to test this approach.
