Organising Institution

Digibeetle

Netherlands

Digibeetle is the knowledge platform for professionals working with the EU Digital Rulebook. They monitor, curate, and cross-reference the most important EU case law, legislation, and supervisory authority documents across data protection, AI, cybersecurity, and digital platforms, updated daily. Their users include European and national regulators, law firms, and universities who rely on us to cut through information overload and surface connections that automated systems overlook.

Over 300 supervisory authorities now enforce a rapidly expanding EU Digital Rulebook. GDPR, AI Act, DSA, DMA, Data Act, NIS2, DORA, and more, with CJEU case law layered on top. The challenge is no longer access to legal texts. It is finding your way through what already exists. In this interactive workshop, Digibeetle and data science researchers from Utrecht University present a prototype tool that maps the Digital Rulebook in a way traditional legal research cannot. Explicit citations are just the surface. The real value is in the hidden links: a CJEU judgment echoing the Digital Markets Act without naming it, or a term like "high-risk" quietly migrating from one legal domain into another. You will get hands-on time with the tool, test it against your own questions, and help shape the next phase of the research. Designed for professionals at supervisory authorities and government bodies who live inside the Digital Rulebook every day.
