Studio Europa presents policy brief collection on digitalisation
Digitalisation has transformed society, offering convenience and connectivity but also raising concerns about societal consequences. With the Digital Services Act (DSA) in full effect in the EU for a bit more than a year now, how can regulation protect democracy, fundamental rights, and well-being in the digital age?
Studio Europa is excited to share their new Policy Brief Collection on Digitalisation, featuring insights of Maastricht University experts from various disciplines on the impact of the DSA on online platforms, AI technologies, and citizens. This collection critically reflects on both the opportunities and challenges of digitalisation, providing policy recommendations for a fair and safe digital future.
