David Erdos

David Erdos is Professor of Law and the Open Society at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Law, where he also serves as Co-Director of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law (CIPIL) and is a WYNG Fellow at Trinity Hall. He joined Cambridge in 2013 following a research fellowship at the University of Oxford. His research explores the intersection of data protection with privacy, freedom of expression, freedom of information, and freedom of research, alongside interests in Commonwealth constitutional history and British-Irish relations.

Erdos's work employs empirical methods to analyze disparities in data protection enforcement across the EU, particularly in journalism and academia. His Data Protection and the Open Society project highlights cultural-legal divides in European data regulation. He has received funding from the British Academy, ESRC, EU, and Leverhulme Trust.

His publications focus on GDPR implementation, the right to be forgotten, intermediary liability, and constitutional privacy rights. Research trends include comparative analyses of EU data frameworks, Brexit's impact on data flows, and historical examinations of Commonwealth legal structures.

Erdos co-leads the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law (CIPIL), advancing interdisciplinary research on digital rights and information governance. He engages in policy debates through regulatory consultations and public scholarship on platforms like the UK Constitutional Law Blog.
