Detail of the conference poster

The research group from the Chair for Collaborative Economy and Digital Transformation of the Faculty of Law has organised the “Regulation and Exploitation of Big Data for Public Services” conference, which takes place on March 2nd, 9th and 16th.

The aim of the conference is to highlight how public administrations and artificial intelligence (AI) can collectively exploit the data at their disposal and improve public services such as healthcare, education, environment, housing, etc.

For this reason, prominent academics connected to administrative law will take part in the conference over the course of three days, as well as the heads of some of the main public administrations that have pioneered the application of AI in public services, such as the Valencian government in education or the Basque government in healthcare.

The three days are structured into three thematic blocks and six roundtables that take place from 17:00 to 20:00. The topics of each block are as follows:

  1. Tuesday March 2nd: Improving regulations and strategies for public data exploitation.
  2. Tuesday March 9th: Data exploitation for examining and controlling implementation of public policies. Artificial intelligence, urban policies and sustainability.
  3. Tuesday March 16th: Data exploitation for inclusion, education, health and housing.

The Chair for Collaborative Economy and Digital Transformation aims to analyse the set of agents, institutions and economic and social practices that have arisen from the phenomenon of collaborative economy and digital platforms from a multidisciplinary perspective of social sciences (combined with the legal approach provided by constitutional, administrative, labour and tax law and the economic and sociological approach).

The conference is led by Lorenzo Cotino, full university professor of constitutional law; Andrés Boix, professor of administrative law; and Adrián Todolí, tenure-track 2 professor of labour and social security law, all of them from the University of Valencia.
