Law, Innovation and Technology

Aims & Scope

Stem cell research, cloning, GMOs ...

How do regulations affect such emerging technologies?

What impact do new technologies have on law?

And can we rely on technology itself as a regulatory tool?

The meeting of law and technology is rapidly becoming an increasingly significant (and controversial) topic.

Law, Innovation and Technology is, however, the only journal to engage fully with it, setting an innovative and distinctive agenda for lawyers, ethicists and policy makers.

Spanning ICTs, biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, neurotechnologies, robotics and AI, it offers a unique forum for the highest level of reflection on this essential area.
