Programmes ERCArticle 40 of the Digital Services Act (DSA) allows researchers to request data from very large online platforms and search engines (full list here) to study ‘systemic risks’ in the European Union. Systemic risks, as outlined in Article 34(1), include issues amplified or generated by such platforms, like the spread of disinformation, its effects on democratic processes, cyberbullying, online harassment, harmful content exposure, and the impact on minors’ physical and mental well-being, among others.
Under a new Delegated Act, researchers can submit applications for previously undisclosed or under-disclosed data access to national authorities - Digital Services Coordinators (DSCs). The impact of this new legal provision could be extensive, and open new avenues for research.
Within this context, the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA) is reaching out to researchers conducting research on ‘systemic risks’ (ERC grantees or not). The ERCEA is planning a number of activities related to the DSA Art. 40 – such as the organisation of a small workshop on 22-23 October (with a web streamed part) and the production of relevant information material for researchers.
Researchers interested in this topic are invited to fill in this short survey.

The NIS Cooperation Group has launched a survey to collect feedback aimed at guiding the future steps towards implementing quantum-safe cryptography in Europe. This initiative follows the release of the "Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)". Quantum computing poses significant challenges to data... read more
Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
