Webinar on Digital Services Act
- This event has passed.
On Thursday, 18 September 2025 at 16:00 CEST, the EOSC Association will host a webinar on the Digital Services Act (DSA) and its accompanying delegated act on researcher data access, which aims to help vetted researchers access the internal data of very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs) across the European Union.
A representative from the Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG CNECT) will present the DSA and discuss its practical implications for research and innovation. The webinar will be moderated by EOSC-A President Klaus Tochtermann.
The webinar is open for the wider EOSC-A community and all interested stakeholders. Registration is required. Please fill in this form by 17 September 2025 (23:59 CEST) to attend the webinar.
On 27 June, the Board of Digital Services Coordinators endorsed a plan for closer cooperation to ensure uniform implementation of researcher vetting and data access procedures under the DSA. The European Parliament and the Council have three months to review the delegated act following its adoption in early July. Once it enters into force and is published in the Official Journal, the first researchers will be able to apply for access to platform data.
In the left-hand column of this page you will find a collection of useful links on the DSA, in particular its data access and transparency provisions.
Join us to explore how these developments will expand research opportunities and prepare for the moment the delegated act takes effect.
