You should not use AI for producing your papers!!!! We are seeing more of this submitted to JPART and only find it because we read each and every submission whether it's send for review or desk rejected. Just had a case where a paper hallucinated references not existing. Stop!
Have a paper on gov digitalization or open data that discusses equity and inclusion? Submit it to our #IRSPM2025 panel! @ErnaRuijer @SuzPiotrowski and I are looking forward to discussing research on this topic!

@jenraso@ThomFia93 @DemkovaSimona among others! Very grateful for such thoughtful, engaging and constructive inter-disciplinary conversations! And as always, a stay @eui_law - even a short one - is amazing and inspiring!
This was a wonderful event. Very much enjoyed the discussions. Learned a lot. And got some great feedback on my paper on whether the EU’s AI act promises indeed to set the global standard ( probably not)
Thanks so much for organizing @eui_law@EMBusuioc and Deidre Curtin
@BenCrumNL@eui_law It was wonderful that you could join us, Ben! Really enjoyed your presentation and also how much it linked up across the board with both law and public admin.

Local govs across the Netherlands are using vulnerable communities as testing grounds for predictive tech with no oversight. Over the past year, we investigated with three local media partners and found widespread illegal profiling and discrimination. https://t.co/6e0X8bqUWz
Hora Est!
Last Tuesday, it was finally my time to take the stage to defend my PhD dissertation "Taking Centre Stage"
For those who have not yet, but would like to, read my dissertation, you can find it in full here: https://t.co/y0MGvGGUZj.
New article w/@saarbarkat in @jepp_journal! In a survey study w/ regulatory stakeholders, we test observationally & experimentally a key assumption of regulation theory on the link between agency independence & reg. credibility. @ERC_Research@EFSA_EU 1/4

Takeaways: controversial policy areas aren’t automatically depoliticized by fiat. Stakeholder prior attitudes shape perceptions of credibility in imp. ways in the EU regulatory state, w/ attitude incongruent outcomes seen as less credible despite being produced by indp. bodies.
