Registrations & programme details for the 2026 edition ‘AI, data, and cooperation in practice’ will be published soon.
Digital technologies are transforming not only the markets regulators oversee but also the very tools they use to enforce regulation. Artificial Intelligence (AI), data analytics, and digital platforms are increasingly embedded in regulatory practice, with the potential to enhance agencies’ ability to monitor compliance, assess risks, and coordinate across jurisdictions. Yet, these technologies also create new governance and accountability challenges.
The second edition of the executive training “New Trends in Digital Regulation: AI, Data, and Cooperation in Practice”, jointly organized by the European University Institute’s Centre for a Digital Society and the Secretariat of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OCED) , addresses how public institutions can effectively enforce emerging digital regulations while responsibly deploying AI and other digital tools in their own operations.
Over three and a half days (25–28 May 2026) at the EUI campus in Florence, participants will engage in a mix of high-level lectures, real-world case studies, and hands-on simulations. Drawing on multidisciplinary expertise in law, economics, and technology, the course explores how regulators can adapt their enforcement strategies, manage data sharing and protection obligations, and strengthen cross-agency cooperation in an increasingly interconnected regulatory landscape. Participants are also invited to attend the CDS Summer Conference immediately following the course.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Assess how AI is reshaping regulatory processes and enforcement strategies.
Design practical approaches for the responsible use and oversight of algorithms in public administration.
Balance data sharing imperatives with data protection, transparency, and accountability obligations.
Develop governance models for trusted government-to-government data spaces.
Appraise mechanisms for improving cross-regulator coordination in complex digital markets.
Apply insights from multidisciplinary simulations to real-world regulatory challenges.
Additional Benefits:
Exchange practical experiences with peers from different authorities and countries.
Build a cross-sector professional network for continued dialogue on digital regulation.
Gain first-hand exposure to OECD and EUI perspectives on emerging regulatory trends.
Officials from:
Competition, telecom, and data protection authorities
Financial regulatory authorities and central banks
Government bodies responsible for digital policy coordination or innovation governance
Sectoral regulators dealing with AI, data, or platform oversight
Professionals involved in cross-border or cross-sector regulatory cooperation initiatives
At the end of the course, participants who have regularly attended the residential course program will receive a ‘Certificate of Participation’.
The certificates is granted by the European University Institute, a leading post-graduate research centre founded in 1972 by the Member States of the European Union.
Attendance in the Florence Digitalisation Summer Conference is not compulsory to obtain the Certificate of Participation.
