Das Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft organisiert im Rahmen des DSA Research Network einen Expert*innen Roundtable. Diese Veranstaltung findet online und in englischer Sprache statt.

Second Meeting of the Circle of Friends 

Expert roundtable
Monday, 14 April, 2025 | 3 – 4.30 pm (CET)
Online

After one year of DSA implementation and the successful launch of the Circle of Friends of the DSA Research Network last November, we are continuing the expert roundtable with our second meeting in April. As a key element of the project, the Circle of Friends serves as a sounding board for the research conducted within the project as well as for the further direction of the project. Together with experts from NGOs, regulatory bodies, and academia, we discuss emerging topics around the DSA, identify needs for scientific insight and explore different methods to fill those gaps. Embedded in a flexible and adaptable operational framework that takes into account the dynamics of the field, the expert roundtable provides valuable input for shaping the project’s research priorities for 2025. It will also allow for taking into account recent developments, such as the first round of Risk Assessment Reports that were published in late 2024, or the recent changes in the transatlantic political climate.

About the DSA Research Network

The DSA Research Network aims to establish a unique space for communication and collaboration around the implementation of the Digital Services Act, with a strong focus on making recommendations for possible areas for reform early on. Following a network-based approach, the project sets out to add value to already existing initiatives that have been formed to accompany the process of implementation. By providing a platform for cross-sectoral dialogue between academics, practitioners, NGOs, and regulators, we facilitate the creation of actionable knowledge and foster a culture of collaboration.
