SCOTLIN Conference
Each year SCOTLIN will organise a paper-based conference for fostering the debate and knowledge exchange on law and innovation
The annual SCOTLIN conference is structured a a 2-day forum for discussion. Each partner organisation and individual members will be encouraged to present their works, which can have an academic, educational, and practical relevance. Contributions might consist of draft papers or accepted papers.
The diversity in the participants will be ensured by means of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion bursaries to incentivise participation of colleagues from underrepresented groups. Participants from each institution should be balanced in terms of gender and stage of career.
Our 2nd Annual Conference "SCOTLIN 2023" will be held at the University of Aberdeen from Monday 27th March 2023 to Tuesday 28th March 2023.
The theme of this year is "Law and the Future: Managing the Increased Resort to Technology."
