EU Digital Omnibus Could Redefine Scientific Research

Original: What Counts as Scientific Research? The EU’s Digital Omnibus Could Set the Definition

The EU's Digital Omnibus package may establish an official definition of what counts as scientific research, a question with major implications for data use, AI development and privacy rules. Policy analysts at Tech Policy Press highlight the debate, as the wording could determine which activities qualify for research exemptions under EU digital law. Researchers and technology firms are watching closely, since the definition would shape how companies and institutions access and process data across the bloc.

Why now: The EU is currently negotiating its Digital Omnibus package, and its treatment of research definitions could reshape data and AI rules.
