European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency**
*/Towards a safer, more predictable and trusted online environment/
The European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT) will contribute
to a safer, more predictable and trusted online environment for people
and business.
How algorithmic systems shape the visibility and promotion of content,
and its societal and ethical impact, is an area of growing concern.
Measures adopted under the Digital Services Act
<https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/digital-services-act-package> (DSA)
call for algorithmic accountability and transparency audits.
The ECAT contributes with scientific and technical expertise to the
European Commission's exclusive supervisory and enforcement role of the
systemic obligations on Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Very
Large Online Search Engines (VLOSEs) provided for under the DSA.
Scientists and experts working at the ECAT will cooperate with industry
representatives, academia, and civil society organisations to improve
our understanding of how algorithms work: they will
analyse transparency, assess risks, and propose new transparent
approaches and best practices.
The ECAT is part of the European Commission, hosted by the Joint
Research Centre
<https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/index_en> (JRC) - the
Commission’s in-house science and knowledge service - in close
cooperation with the Directorate General Communications Networks,
Content and Technology (DG CONNECT
<https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies>).
We are preparing*new rounds of recruitment* for top-level
experts interested in research or inspection.
In the meantime, you can send a spontaneous application to
ec-e...@ec.europa.eu
<https://algorithmic-transparency.ec.europa.eu/ec-e...@ec.europa.eu>,
and if your profile matches our needs we will keep you updated once new
positions are available on the JRC Recruitment Portal
<https://recruitment.jrc.ec.europa.eu/?type=AX>.
