REMEDIS听听

Together with the University of Saint-Louis (USL-B) and the University of Luxembourg (UL), the CRIDES participates in the 鈥�.鈥� This interdisciplinary project aims to provide innovative regulatory frameworks and legally compliant socio-technical solutions to鈥痬onitor online disinformation and its effect.鈥� Researchers in digital law, social science, information and communication, history and computer science will investigate the issue of disinformation by working on specific use cases such as the Covid-19 infodemic and offer鈥�regulatory and technical remedies鈥痜or disinformation.听

The REMEDIS project will focus on鈥�regulatory solution鈥痠n order to offer new legal and non-legal instruments to better balance the social responsibility of online platforms with the freedom of expressions of user and on鈥�technical solutions鈥� to design legally-attentive procedures and protocols to question the origin and integrity of a diversity of news and to build measures and models of its process of disclosure, information flow and reception. Furthermore, REMEDIS aims to support self-awareness and a critical approach to disinformation in the context of content-moderation activities and media education.听

Unitary Patent and the Unitary Patent Court听听听

Since the 1st of June 2023, after years of negotiations, setbacks and postponements, the鈥�European patent with unitary effect (EPUE)鈥痠s a reality, and the鈥疷nified Patent Court (UPC)鈥痟as started its activities听

Concerned by the deficiencies of the system proposed, at a time when the UPCA was still not in force, a group of IP scholars and professionals tried to warn the lawmakers and propose amendments or alternatives to the Unitary Patent Package. This process led to the signature of鈥€痓y more than 60 scholars and IP professionals 鈥�urg[ing] all the decision-makers and persons involved in the process of adjusting the UPCA, following the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, to pause and to consider alternatives solutions.鈥濃€�

This group further engaged in a transnational reflection on improving the system through workshops and conferences. In 2023, this group published a monograph entitled 鈥溾€�, reflecting most of the ideas that emerged during these months of research and dialogues.鈥�

Today, the group continues to monitor the implementation of the Unitary Patent and the first steps of the Unitary Patent Court.听

Projet DRAILS听听

A l鈥檌nitiative conjointe du CRIDES et du CPDR de l鈥橴CLouvain et des chercheurs de l鈥橴SL-Bruxelles, le "Research Group on Data, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Law and Society" (DRAILS) a 茅t茅 fond茅 en 2021. Ce groupe a pour objectif de r茅unir des chercheurs et experts en sciences sociales et humaines afin de constituer 脿 terme un p么le de recherche consacr茅脿 l鈥櫭﹖ude interdisciplinaire de la transformation num茅rique de la soci茅t茅 et de l鈥櫭ヽonomie, et aux r茅gulations en mati猫re de donn茅es, robotique et intelligence artificielle par le droit, l鈥櫭﹖hique et d鈥檃utres normes.

PROSEco ARC (Action de Recherche Concert茅e) on digital plateforms regulation听听听

The project is entitled鈥疨latforms Operations and Regulation in the Sharing Economy (PROSEco). In recent years, many innovative sharing economy platforms (SEPs) had a strong impact on their stakeholders: service providers and consumers alike. The sharing economy is not only a land of promises but also of great perils. Even fast-growing and global for-profit platforms like Uber are still struggling to make a profit, while the failure rate of startups is higher than in other sectors. Also, many non-profit SEPs fail to stay active. For both types of platforms, the road to success is paved with a number of鈥痮perational,鈥痚conomic, and鈥痩egal鈥痗hallenges, which directly stem from their innovative business model.听听

These multifaceted challenges call for an interdisciplinary approach to answer our overarching research question:鈥疕ow can platforms in the sharing economy deliver long-lasting value for their stakeholders and for society as a whole?鈥疧ur objective with this research project is to conduct a fine-grained analysis of the implications of the sharing economy, combining researchers from operations research, economics, and law.

SHINE听

The CRIDES has been awarded with a grant by the European Commission (Erasmus+Jean Monnet Actions) to conduct a research in the field of the sharing economy (SHINE. SHaring Economy and INequalities across Europe).听听

The joint initiative (Universitat de Val猫ncia - UV (action leader), Universitat de Barcelona, Alma Mater Studiorum - Universit脿 di Bologna & Universit谩 Di Palermo - Facolt谩 Di Giurisprudenza) focused on the social and economic consequences of the different models of market regulation and digital intermediation in the so-called "sharing economy", as well as on the policy responses to cope with the emerging forms of inequalities that these models are exacerbating. The activities of the SHINE Network between 2019 and 2022 included not only academic research, but also training courses and collaboration with institutions and other economic agents, such as public administrations and technological poles in various European countries. The research team of the CRIDES specifically focus on the WP 鈥渄igital discrimination in the sharing economy: pitfalls and legal design strategies for online platforms鈥�. CRIDES researches involved in the project are Rossana Ducato, Enguerrand Marique and Alain Strowel.听

INTERLINK听听

INTERLINK is H2020 project funded by the call 鈥淒T-GOVERNANCE -05-2018-2019-2020: New forms of delivering public goods and inclusive public services.鈥� Governance is being transformed by new approaches to delivering public services which allow for the involvement of citizens and various other actors. The challenge is to critically assess and support as needed this transformation based on an open collaboration and innovation platform supported by ICT (government as a platform) and on an open environment and ecosystem with clear frameworks and guidelines for modular service quality (鈥榞overnment as a service鈥�) in accordance with the EU eGovernment Action Plan 2016-2020 32 and the European Interoperability Framework Implementation Strategy.听 The team of the CRIDES is responsible for the ethical and legal questions orbiting around the project.听

2024-2028听

Together with the University of Namur, the CRIDES participates in the Law, Emotion and Disinformation (LED) project.听 The project aims at determining 鈥渨hat legal mechanisms should be put in place to effectively regulate the use of AI-enabled emotion recognition and exploitation in the dissemination of online disinformation鈥�. The project adopts a comprehensive approach, focusing on both the emotional reception and curating of disinformation content. The project follows a dual approach: on one hand, it focuses on how the right to quality information can be invoked to strengthen user resilience against the dissemination of online disinformation through emotion recognition and exploitation, and on the other hand, which regulatory methods would be the most efficient to prevent abusive emotion recognition and exploitation and reduce the spread of online disinformation.听

LED鈥檚 societal impact is directed at four categories of beneficiaries: citizens, civil society, journalists, and institutions. LED aims to provide those different actors with guidelines and recommendations based on their research outputs and to create a forum of discussion for those different stakeholders through the organizing of conferences and workshops. LED is financed by the FNRS under the WelChange programme.听
