ProgrammesThe European Commission has opened a call for evidence to collect research and best practices on how to simplify its legislation, especially when it comes to data, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI).
This initiative is part of the Commission’s simplification agenda and efforts to create a more favourable business environment, by lightening administrative burdens and costs on companies. The initiative also supports the Commission’s target in the Competitiveness Compass to cut administrative burden by at least 25% for all companies and at least 35% for small and medium-sized enterprises.
This call for evidence follows extensive stakeholder engagement that included public consultations on the Data Union Strategy, the Cybersecurity Act revision, and on the Apply AI Strategy. It is a first step in simplifying the EU’s digital rulebook and remains open until 14 October 2025.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
