ACM organizes webinar for researchers and NGOs

Please save the date for our upcoming webinar: Unlocking Data: Exploring research opportunities on online platforms

Why this webinar

Academic research plays a critical role in shaping a safer online ecosystem. The Digital Services Act creates opportunities for researchers and NGOs to study online platforms in greater depth. In addition to publicly available information, eligible researchers can gain access to non-public platform data under specific provisions of the Digital Services Act. During this webinar, we will touch upon these topics together with some relevant experts.

Save the date for our webinar on November 20 to find out how these new possibilities can advance your own research.

For whom

This webinar is organized for a broad group of researchers, NGOs, and other relevant stakeholders.
