Webinar series: The Data Act in contracts

Published on | 2 months ago

Programmes AI, data & cloud  

The European Commission organises a series of 6 webinars to develop model contractual terms for data sharing and standard contractual clauses for switching between data processing services (cloud computing contracts). These model contractual terms shall be recommended before the entry into forces of the EU Data Act on 25 September 2025.

These models intend to help especially small and medium-size companies and other organisations which may lack resources to draft and negotiate fair contractual clauses for data sharing or for cloud computing.

The webinars are open to member state authorities, companies, lawyers, professors, and organisations.

Webinar planning:

  • 20 November 2024: Standard Contractual Clauses implementing the provisions of the Data Act: Switching and Exit, Termination, Security and business continuity
  • 21 November 2024: Standard Contractual Clauses on Liability, Non-amendment, Non-dispersion
  • 27 November 2024: Contracts between data holders and data users, as well as the data use by the data holder, arrangements for access to data by the user, and transfer of the connected product to successors.
  • 28 November 2024: Contracts between data holders and data recipients but also the link with the user's request, the contract between the data recipient and the user, as well as the ways in which data can be accessed
  • 4 December 2024: reasonable compensation for making data available agreed between data holders and data recipients under the Data Act, as well as a possible compensation for the user in exchange of access and use of the data by the data holder in certain circumstances (for example when the user agrees not to share the data with other entities)
  • 5 December 2024: voluntary data sharing; relevant for bilateral or multilateral data sharing agreements but also for the use of Model Contractual Terms in data spaces

More information on the webinars and the possibility to register to the individual webinars can be found on the Commission website.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
