Responsible Governance for Healthy and Sustainable Smart Platforms

P. Andreadis — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 14:57:07 +0000

Smart online platforms will be a vital enabler of future economic growth across the EU and a key component of the EU single digital market. They also promise new ways to pool and mobilise society’s resources with the potential to address various impending social and environmental crises.

However, to reap these benefits, new thinking is required around the regulation and governance of smart online platforms to ensure balanced interests, and to promote fair and safe forms of participation, particularly relating to the role played by algorithms and data in driving economies of scale.

In order to address the issues this raises, we are organising a policy event on smart online platforms on the 5th of December 2016, at the Scotland Europa Conference Centre in Brussels.
