LAST-JD Ph.D. Program
JOINT INTERNATIONAL DOCTORAL DEGREE IN LAW, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Online at http://www.last-jd.eu/
===================================================================

The Joint International Doctoral Degree in Law, Science and Technology is an
interdisciplinary integrated program designed to address the new legal,
socio-ethical, and technical challenges posed by the information society and
the newly emerging technologies.

The program covers three different research fields with its curricula:
* Bioethics and Biolaw, which looks at the legal and ethical issues arising in
connection with advances in biology and medicine;
* ICT Law, addressing the legal risks and opportunities in ICT; and
* Legal Informatics, an area of informatics that takes law as its subject
matter, developing techniques with which to manage the legal domain.

This program promotes European excellence, innovation, and competitiveness in
such critical legal and ethical fields as the regulation of privacy, genomics
and biobanks, e-government, e-health and e-commerce, the right of free speech
on the Internet and intellectual property rights (IPR) with respect to the new
technologies. Moreover, the program furthers the design of new software to
support the legal profession, including systems based on the explicit
representation of laws and regulations in a computable form, as well as
systems for checking compliance with international, European, and national
legal frameworks and systems in AI& Law.
