d.pia.lab is launching a new empirical study, “Measuring Risks to Rights: A Reliability Study”, and we would like to invite data protection professionals and experts to participate.

In mid-July, members of the Non-Objectivity of Risk to Rights research project and collaborating researchers gathered for a five-day Academic Writing Retreat.

The d.pia.lab has submitted its contribution to the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) public consultation on the draft Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) Template and Explainer.

The article, by Niels Van Dijk, Kjetil Rommetveit, and Maciej Otmianowski, was recently published in the "Journal of Responsible Innovation".

In response to the European Commission’s call for input on high-risk AI systems, researchers from d.pia.lab submitted their contribution to the ongoing consultation on how certain AI systems should be classified as high-risk under the AI Act.

D.pia.Lab researchers Simone Casiraghi and Niels Van Dijk have published a new monograph together from the University of Edinburgh Press.

The workshop "Reclaiming Algorithm Impact Assessments: Towards Participatory AI Governance" was organised as part of the CPDP 2025 conference.

The Brussels Laboratory for Data Protection & Privacy Impact Assessments, (d.pia.lab) is pleased to announce a new seminar series called "Non-objective risk to a right".

We have received new funding for the project that allows us to further develop the concept of “risk to a right” by debiasing the concept of risk in data protection law. The project is titled: “Risk as a subjective phenomenon.

We are looking for a new PhD researcher for the project on ‘Risk as a subjective phenomenon. Integrating cognitive science into the concept of risk in European data protection law’.

The Brussels Privacy Hub, along with more than 150 esteemed academics from across Europe and beyond, is urging the inclusion of a fundamental rights impact assessment (FRIA) in the forthcoming EU Artificial Intelligence Regulation (AI Act).
