The world in which we live, is experiencing an unparalleled increase in digital technologies. Data is at the core of the current digital innovation. It is estimated that global data generation will triple between 2025 and 2029. The reasons behind this worldwide growth in data are varied, but undeniably they include the increased use of digital technologies in all areas of life.

While the volume of available data is important, in terms of innovation, availability coped with the knowledge on how to use the data is the key to success. Data analysts, information technology engineers and the likes focus on gathering, linking, interpreting, using data, creating algorithms and code in order to address specific problems and create new digital solutions. The role of lawyers in this framework is not of less importance. Lawyers need to ensure that all of these data driven activities comply with the applicable legal framework and that all the safeguards are in place for the protection of fundamental rights.

The 2nd Data Driven Innovation workshop, organized in March 2025 at the University of Groningen by the Security, Technology and e-Privacy research group (STeP) together with the students of the LLM program in Technology Law and Innovation, focused on the current legal challenges in Data Driven Innovation.

This edited volume takes stock of current legal debates and presents a number of selected chapters that reflect upon core legal problems of Data Driven Innovation.

Collection of activities for ice-breaking, teambuilding, and intercultural empowerment.

Handbook

At present, there is little material available to help both novice and experienced (university) instructors effectively supervise academic research, particularly theses. In many cases, thesis supervision becomes a protracted process that is frustrating for both instructors and students. This guide offers practical tips for optimizing this process by drawing on the agile methodology, which was developed in the business world.

A pdf version of this book, available via the University of Groningen Press website will follow soon.

The overall aim of this handbook, Creative and Inclusive Heritage Education, and its accompanying activity book is to provide teachers with the necessary theoretical tools and practical exercises to foster a more inclusive teaching practice using heritage as a vehicle for self-awareness, collective meaning-making and conflict resolution in the learning space. By helping educators to identify and counter exclusionary narratives, by stimulating their interest in their own histories and those of their students, and by engaging in creative heritage work, the handbook and the activity book allow educators to make the best of the social and educational value of heritage.

Circadian Biology is about the adaptation of life to our rotating world, to the Earth’s 24-hour rhythm of day and night.  Not surprisingly, the field has attracted considerable popular and scientific interest from people seeking further study or applications.  This new diversity is exciting and invigorating!  But newcomers may have little or no foundational knowledge on the essential principles and practice of circadian biology, no framework upon which to incorporate their disciplinary experience and expertise.  If this describes you, our intention is to provide you with a Road Map – call it a launching pad, jump start, gateway, or primer – as a first (and hopefully engaging and helpful) step to enter the field and as an entrée to its now voluminous literature.

Er is op dit moment weinig materiaal voorhanden dat beginnende en ook ervaren (universitair) docenten helpt om wetenschappelijk onderzoek (met name scripties) effectief te begeleiden. Scriptiebegeleiding verzandt in veel gevallen in een langdurig proces dat frustrerend is voor zowel docenten als studenten. Deze handleiding biedt handvatten om dit proces te optimaliseren door lessen te trekken uit de agile methode, die ontwikkeld is in het bedrijfsleven.

This is a Cases and Material textbook curating sources on Data Protection and digital Human Rights law. The textbook aims at providing a “one-stop shop” for students, researchers and practitioners studying these dynamic areas of law. The book is designed and written primarily with students of the LLB programme in Technology law (Faculty of Law, University of Groningen) in mind. The need for this textbook as an educational tool came up when we  started teaching a course dedicated to Data protection and digital Human Rights law. We soon realised that there is no equivalent textbook in the market that places together the relevant sources in a structured fashion. Thus, we decided to cover this gap. With that being said, this textbook is equally relevant to any student or to anybody who has an interest in these areas. It was important to us to have online open access educational material that can be accessible to everybody around the world and that can be easily updated given the quick developments in the field.

This text is accessible to anyone interested in the brain. It is specifically targeted to students and instructors of undergraduate neuroscience or biopsychology courses. It encourages an active exploration of the intersection of neuroscience with other disciplines through a large number of activities, demonstrations, reflection prompts, and critical thinking questions. The book complements material presented in more conventional neuroscience or biopsychology textbooks, portions of which are linked to throughout this text.
