Introduction to the ATLAWS Project

The ATLAWS project aims to create a "digital atlas" for EU digital legal acts. The purpose is to clearly present essential information, prepare it factually through a co-creation process with the participating organizations, and enrich it with key information on (thematically related) legal acts and standards. This should provide a quick overall overview of the current legal status.

The ATLAWS should also allow organizations to delve into the details of the legal acts to, for example, answer questions about applicability and potential consequences.

The goal is, on the one hand, a systematic information preparation, meaning an approach that considers both the intricacies of individual legal acts and the synergy effects between them, and on the other hand, a target-group-specific information preparation, meaning that, similar to electronic maps, information should be retrievable at precisely the level of detail (the "altitude") at which it is currently needed.

The ATLAWS should answer four questions at first glance: Which "Acts," laws, directives, etc., are relevant for organizations? Which rules must organizations comply with? Where can synergies be achieved? What penalties or other consequences (loss of funding or customers from the public sector) are threatened in case of non-compliance?

The ATLAWS project pursues a co-creation approach to enrich the development, which is primarily carried out by staff members of the Research Institute, with the perspective of the participating organizations and thus promote mutual exchange.
