DATA ACCESS DAYS

The first Data Access Days will bring together different stakeholders from all kinds of backgrounds to connect, exchange, and collaborate around data access.

Join us on 25. and 26. September 2025 in Berlin.

Please note that the programme is still being completed and as of now only contains the preliminary programme.
Registered participants will be notified upon finalisation.

The first day will take a more high-level approach, reflecting on past experiences, and scoping future developments of DSA-based data access.
The second day will provide spaces for guided, practical work to collaborate on or refine data access requests based on Art. 40(4) DSA.

Looking back and ahead

This day will offer something for everyone – no matter the experience level.
After starting slow with a short Data Access 101, we will kick-off the day of proper with a keynote by an experienced data access researcher. We will also look back on lessons learned from data access based Art. 40(12) to then take a look at future possibilities of data access with the delegated act on Art. 40(4) in force. Based on these inputs, we will break out to discuss strategies to further a healthy data access ecosystem. We will end the day considering data access beyond the DSA before coming together for a dinner in the heart of Berlin.

Hands-on sessions

On this day we will get down and dirty with applications for 40(4) data access.
We will start the day with an update on all relevant provisions for our access requests, taking an in-depth look at the delegated act on data access, the DSA data access portal, systemic risks, data availability as well as data security and data protection.
Having covered the basics, we will put everything into practice, banding together to work on or refine collective or individual data access requests, with experts present to help with any potentially arising issues.
