In partnership with the Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP), KU Leuven
The European Commission’s Digital Omnibus Package proposes targeted amendments across the EU’s digital rulebook, including the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, NIS2, Data Act, and AI Act; with the aim of reducing compliance costs, improving legal certainty, and strengthening European competitiveness.
As the proposal moves through the European Parliament and Council, this webinar offers an opportunity to understand what’s being proposed and what it could mean for businesses, researchers, and practitioners.
