The Data Act, which will become applicable on 12 September 2025, establishes a horizontal set of rules on data access and use that aims to protect fundamental rights and to deliver wide-ranging benefits for the European economy and society. It increases data availability – particularly industrial data – and encourages data-driven innovation while ensuring fairness in the allocation of data value among all actors in the data economy.
It will contribute to the establishment of a single market for data, together with the Data Governance Act, which aims to increase trust in voluntary data-sharing mechanisms.
As applicants to data-related call topics are expected to be aware of relevant EU policies and legislation, these FAQs can provide a useful overview on the Data Act.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).
Stay informed about what matters to you.
By signing up, you can opt in for e-mail notifications and get access to

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).
NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
