Abstract

The concept of a “research organization” has significant implications across various domains of EU information law, including copyright, artificial intelligence (AI), and even platform regulation. Defined in the Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive (CDSMD), this concept plays a crucial role in determining the legal obligations and rights of entities engaging in activities such as text and data mining (TDM) and AI research, or data access for research purposes. By examining how this definition interacts with legislative frameworks like the CDSMD and the AI Act, this short contribution examines its critical role in EU digital regulation of research and highlights areas of legal uncertainty.
