The group's activities
- Our main aim is to build a community of researchers of different backgrounds interested in the intersections between law and technology. In today's interconnected world, technology law issues are global in scope. Recognising this, the group implements international and interdisciplinary approach.
- We produce collaborative research outputs published in leading peer reviewed journals, book series, conference series and reports.
- We organise events, including conference and seminar series, substantive talks and study groups, followed by scientific publications, to create a specific impact.
- We are committed to research-led teaching where students of different levels (LLB, LLM, PhD) are taught research findings in the fields of law and technology. Students' participation in our conferences and seminars will provide them with opportunities to meet academic experts in relevant fields, as well as practitioners from the private sector, which is important for their commercial awareness and employability.
- We promote law competitions that embrace the area of law and technology.
