Digital technologies are not the future anymore, but our reality. And modern states primarily focus on developing competitive technologies and providing suitable regulation for them. This, in its turn, represents a massive challenge to the law and lawmakers. The regulation, being designed today, will influence our future and further progress of digital technologies.
Therefore, it is crucial to discuss state-of-the-art issues and define future steps in regulation of the digital technologies across the world.
The conference explores the law and governance relating to the creation, implementation, and usage of digital technologies, as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), autonomous systems, etc.
This conference is a unique opportunity for students, researchers, and professors to discuss law and digital technologies from a comparative perspective and do international networking. It will happen in two days with an opening ceremony with experts on the field followed by thematic tables. The authors will present their papers either in English, Russian or Portuguese.
The Research Group “Law, Digital Technologies & ADR” was launched in 2021 with the main aim – to create an international students’ virtual hub for the research and cross-cultural collaboration in the sphere of Law and Digital Technologies, including its connection with Alternative Dispute Resolution from the international and comparative perspective.
Law and DT, including its connection with the ADR, represent one of the most interesting and relevant fields of expertise. New generation of lawyers should know about trends, connected with digitalization and its influence on law. Research experience in this sphere gives you the opportunity not only to strengthen your research and academic writing competences. It provides you with the skills, that can give you more opportunities to build an international career and be in demand in today’s market.
To provide students with the opportunity to compare jurisdictions and regulatory approaches of the different countries the P2P approach is chosen. Working in pairs (or small groups) on one of the given research areas under the supervision gives the opportunity to discuss the preliminary and final results of the project and get the necessary for the future career experience of the teamwork.
The group unites young and experienced researchers from 7 countries (Brazil, USA, Russia, Italy, India, Portugal and Uganda), 15 universities (South Ural State University, Universidade Candido Mendes, Ambra University, University of Bologna, Caruso School of Law (Pepperdine university), Amity Law School, Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique, Goenka University and others).
