Register now for our upcoming webinar, ‘Open
data, academia, and ethics: responsible use of AI‑generated and
synthetic data in research', taking place on Friday, 5
June 2026, from 10.00 to 11.00 CEST.
This webinar is the second episode of the series “Open data,
academia, and ethics”, a three‑part programme that explores how
open data and emerging technologies shape research integrity,
knowledge production, and public trust. In this second
episode, Thomas Lampert, Professor and former Chair of Artificial
Intelligence and Data Science at the University of Strasbourg, will
introduce synthetic and AI‑generated data from a technical and
analytical perspective, explaining how these forms of data are
created and used in practice. Using examples from medical imaging
and remote sensing, he will highlight both the opportunities and
the challenges these technologies present for research and
decision‑making. The second presentation, given by Ella Hafermalz,
Associate Professor of Work and Technology at KIN, Vrije
Universiteit Amsterdam, will examine how researchers and
institutions can distinguish between real and synthetic data, and
how responsible practices can help prevent misuse while supporting
transparency and trust in research.
The webinar will conclude with an interactive Q&A, giving
participants the opportunity to engage directly with the
speakers.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with
a calendar invite and webinar link. This session is part of the
‘Measuring the impact of open data’ course by the
data.europa academy and will be recorded for future
access.
