About us:
Out goal is international collaboration for research legal problems associated with the development, implementation and use of digital technologies in modern society.
New digital technologies, such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, big data, and others, have significant impact on traditional social institutions. To realize the breakthrough potential of digital technologies for sustainable development, it is necessary to create an appropriate legal regulation.
Innovators who introduce new digital technologies required legal certainty on the both national and international levels. Digital assets have an inherently extraterritorial character. Therefore, it takes international efforts and cooperation of legal scholars from different countries of the world to define a supportive legal environment.
The Centre offers an inspiring and interactive collaboration for legal researchers from around the world.
