European Union Strategies for Technological Advancement in a Shifting Geopolitical Landscape

The European Union (EU) increasingly views technological capability as a cornerstone of its strategic autonomy amid global power shifts. Major technology domains – from artificial intelligence and semiconductors to green tech, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, and space – have become arenas for geopolitical competition and cooperation. In response, the EU has launched comprehensive policies and investments to manage and advance its technological resources. These efforts are driven by a recognition that leadership in technology underpins economic strength, security, and resilience in the face of challenges such as the U.S.–China tech rivalry, supply chain disruptions, the war in Ukraine, and the need for transatlantic coordination. This article provides an analysis of the EU’s strategies across key tech domains and examines how policy initiatives align with current geopolitical challenges.

Big Data Ethics in Education and Research

Big data ethics involves adherence to the concepts of right and wrong behavior regarding data, especially personal data. Big Data ethics focuses on structured or unstructured data collectors and disseminators. Big data ethics is supported, at EU level, by extensive documentation, which seeks to find concrete solutions to maximize the value of big data without sacrificing fundamental human rights. The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) supports the right to privacy and the right to the protection of personal data in the respect of human dignity.

Aspecte legale în lucrul cu Big Data

Utilizarea Big Data prezintă probleme juridice semnificative, în special din punctul de vedere al protecției datelor. Cadrul juridic existent al Uniunii Europene, bazat în special pe Directiva nr. 46/95/CE și Regulamentul general privind protecția datelor cu caracter personal, oferă o protecție corespunzătoare. Dar, pentru Big Data este necesară o strategie cuprinzătoare și globală. Evoluția în timp a fost de la dreptul de a exclude pe alții la dreptul la controlul propriilor date și, în prezent, la regândirea dreptului la identitate (digitală).
