Lunch Seminar with Heather Broomfield and Mona Naomi Lintvedt on EU Data Governance Act

The EU plans to be a world leader in the smart use of data and has set ambitious goals in the EU Data Strategy (2019). As part of this strategy the EU Commission recently proposed a new regulation on European Data Governance (Data Governance Act). 

In this presentation we will endeavour to detangle the Data Governance Act, by discussing what is and is not covered by the regulation – and how it must be understood considering existing regulations and policies on data sharing and reuse. The proposal raises many questions that we look forward to exploring with you.

Heather Broomfield and Mona Naomi Lintvedt are doctoral research fellows with projects on AI at the Department of Public Law and the Department of Private Law respectively. Both have a long career in the public sector working on digitalisation and data governance, in particular open data and data sharing policies.
