The European Commission is shaping its simplification agenda through the Digital Omnibus Package, with targeted measures on data legislation, cybersecurity incident reporting, and the targeted adjustments of the AI Act.
Informatics Europe submitted detailed feedback, welcoming simplification efforts while calling for safeguards that protect academic research, education and scientific integrity in Europe. Our recommendations highlight, among others:
- tiered and fair access to data for non-profit research,
- the need to anchor AI governance in Informatics literacy,
- independent peer review of technical standards,
- safe harbours for academic security research.
Our goal is clear: simplification should reduce burden without weakening Europe's capacity for trustworthy, high-quality AI research and education.
