Research
LSTS engages in a variety of legal disciplines ranging from legal theory to positive law, and its legal research recurrently intersects with disciplines such as philosophy (of law, of sciences and of technology), science and technology studies (STS), computer science, digital sociology, communication studies, and critical data studies, among others. LSTS is an internationally recognised centre of expertise on privacy and data protection law. Its research generally explores digitalisation and digitalisations’ impact and regulation from a European and global perspectives, covering subjects such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), health, surveillance, discrimination, gender or (cyber-)security.
Research Vision
The LSTS research vision is based on its proven capacity to lead international research and to constitute a major European reference in this field of law, science, technology & society. LSTS is also multiplying its activities with local actors, e. g. through Innoviris projects.
