Prof. Gerhard Hammerschmid and Centre fellows Jessica Breaugh, PhD and Moritz Kleinaltenkamp, PhD wrote a piece for the Handelsblatt, arguing that up-and-coming GovTech companies are not getting enough support in Germany. Read it here.

Prof. Daniela Stockmann and Philipp Darius led a research project involving many Centre researchers on the key challenges that Digital Service Coordinators might face in successfully implementing the EU Digital Services Act. Read a policy brief proposing recommendations here.

Prof. Gerhard Hammerschmid, Dr. Enora Palaric, Maike Rackwitz and Prof. Kai Wegrich collaborated on a research piece to investigate whether digitalisation drives collaborative forms of governance. A summary of the findings, as well as the full report, can be found here.

The newest addition to our student working paper series written by Hertie School students Jakob Albrecht (MPP 2024), Oskar Krafft (MDS 2024), Amin Oueslati (MDS 2024) and Paul Sharratt (MDS 2024) discusses how to regulate persuasive design by Very Large Online Platforms in Europe.
