EU Digital Omnibus May Redefine Scientific Research
Original: What Counts as Scientific Research? The EU’s Digital Omnibus Could Set the Definition
The EU's Digital Omnibus package could establish an official definition of what counts as scientific research, a choice with major consequences for how data rules apply to researchers and tech companies. Policy commentators are debating whether the definition will protect legitimate research or open loopholes that let commercial actors claim scientific exemptions from the bloc's digital laws.
Why now: The EU is drafting digital legislation whose research exemption wording could significantly affect data protection and platform rules.
