APPLIED workshop
On October 23rd Jos Hoevenaars joined an international group of experts in a workshop organized by the researchers of the Assessing Collective Private Parties’ Litigation in the Economy of Data (APPLIED) project. It aims to explore the evolving landscape of data protection litigation within the EU, focusing on the effectiveness of collective private enforcement (CPE). The workshop’s goal was to connect the relevant debates in the field of collective redress and data protection law, as well as explore how they relate to issues of private enforcement in the emerging fields of platform and data law. It brought together academics working in various fields surrounding collective data protection litigation in the EU. Jos was asked to comment on the project design and preliminary findings as well as provide reflections based on his expertise around the funding of collective actions.

We had the pleasure to host Dr. Jose Caro Catalan of Universidad de Cádiz as a visiting researcher from 20 June till 20 September 2022. Jose reports:
“In the summer of 2022, I carried out a research stay at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, under the supervision of Professor Kramer, who integrated me into her research group. I did this research stay just after defending my doctoral thesis in Spain, with the idea of exploring new research topics related to the efficiency of civil justice. Specifically, during those months I had the opportunity to learn more about the phenomenon of judicial specialization through the example of international commercial court. Furthermore, the possibility of participating in the group’s internal seminars allowed me to stay up to date with new topics and reflect on the challenges facing civil justice in the European Union. It was a very enriching experience, not only because of the excellent research resources available but, above all, because of the excellent researchers who are part of the group”.
