The Centre for a Digital Society is actively engaged in numerous research projects aligned with its core activities and main research areas. The outcomes of these projects, encompassing publications, videos, and conference recordings, are meticulously curated in our comprehensive Resources repository.

The DataComp project aims to establish a comprehensive database of training materials focused on EU competition law, specifically tailored to benefit national judges in eligible countries.
The notion of intellectual property is at the core of technological innovation, economic growth and industrial policies.

Funding
Both EU public institutions and market donors may financially support specific research projects on topics mutually agreed with the CDS. In all cases the Centre carries out each research project in a fully independent manner, defining autonomously the methodology of research without any external influence on the final research results. To ensure transparency, the external financial support received by the CDS is displayed on the webpage of each research project. The CDS fully complies with the EUI Guidelines on Ethics and Integrity in Academic Research and the EUI General Principles concerning the Receipt of External Funds. In particular, the EUI Funding Committee regularly scrutinises any external funding from private donors received by the CDS.
