Thomas Streinz (European University Institute) will present a talk: "The Past, Present, and Future of European Data Law."

Please RSVP

Lunch will be served

In recent years, the EU has enacted a flurry of new legislation in the digital domain,including the Data Governance Act (DGA), Digital Services Act (DSA), Digital Markets Act (DMA), Data Act (DA), and perhaps most prominently the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA).These laws have different regulatory objectives and employ different regulatoryapproaches, yet they can all be conceptualized to some extent as “data laws”. Theygravitate around the EU’s established data protection law, especially the General DataProtection Regulation (GDPR). The Draghi report and the second Trump administrationhave prompted a reckoning with the EU’s data law acquis – even GDPR reform issuddenly on the table. Against this backdrop, this talk will discuss the past, present, andfuture of European data law.
