PhD project
Fatma worked as a researcher/teacher at the department of Constitutional- and Administrative law from September 2017 to September 2018. In June 2018, she has been awarded the NWO Research Talent Grant. In this research project, she investigates the legal implications of data-driven government. Digitalization promotes smarter governance, but it might increase the longstanding information asymmetry between government and citizens. Public bodies often face legal uncertainty regarding data-collection and exchange, since this has not been systematically regulated. This creates a hurdle for public bodies to fulfill the potential that data offers. This project investigates the possibilities to further regulate data-driven government.
