About CAS

We aim to strengthen collaboration among CSOs working on digital rights in the EU and to support knowledge transfer between CSOs and academia.

By connecting smaller organisations more closely, we aim to facilitate a community which can increase its ability to act collectively and effectively. While academia often focuses on technical methods, CSOs bring their own approaches, situated in practice and grounded in specific cases.

Documenting and comparing these practices will help create a more complete picture of how AI audits can be conducted under real-world conditions. By co-creating, mapping, and presenting this knowledge, we aim to support reflection within civil society itself, while also making it accessible to researchers, policymakers, and other actors.
