Jean Monnet Module - Data.PT

The Faculty of Law, through CEAD Francisco Suárez, is proud to announce the launch of the Data.PT project, funded by the Erasmus+ program through a Jean Monnet Module. This innovative project aims to promote the in-depth study of data regulation and related European Union public policies, contributing to a greater understanding and development of effective regulatory strategies.

Led by Professor Graça Canto Moniz, the Data.PT project will run for 36 months and will involve a diverse group of experts, including national and international academics, as well as professionals working in the sector.

The Data.PT activities have been carefully designed to foster debate and learning about the European Union's role in data regulation.

The Data.PT project is positioned as a platform of excellence for the training of future professionals and researchers, creating a dynamic space for interaction and reflection on the challenges and opportunities in the field of data regulation in the European context.

We invite the entire academic community and those interested in the area to follow the development of Data.PT and take part in the various initiatives planned.
