The DSA Observatory is part of the "Digital Transformations of Decision-Making" research initiative of the Amsterdam Law School and contributes to the activities of the Digital Legal Lab, an interuniversity research centre on law and digital technologies run by a research network between four Dutch universities. The DSA Observatory has received funding from the Open Society Foundations and from the Civitates initiative ("Healthy Digital Public Sphere") programme) and the European Platform Publics Research Network (a collaboration with the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society and the Hans-BredowInstitut), funded by Stiftung Mercator.
The Observatory has followed the DSA political process closely.

The project generates regular analysis on the DSA and relevant developments, including blog posts, policy reports, academic articles, and events including expert workshops, panels and conferences.
