The EU’s Digital Services Act introduces a mechanism for researchers to gain access to platform data under Article 40 — a vital step toward ensuring transparency, accountability, and effective enforcement. The recently adopted delegated act on data access sets out how this process will work in practice, granting researchers opportunities to study platform behavior and its societal impacts. Join us for this webinar with João Vinagre, researcher at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), to unpack what this delegated act means in practice and how researchers can leverage these new rights.
As a research organisation itself, the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre is uniquely well placed to understand and explain the opportunities created by these new rules.
